Steve Million is a professional jazz pianist and composer living and working in Chicago, IL since 1988. He has also called Kansas City, Mo. (12 years), and NYC (2 years) home.

When Steve was seven years old his parents took him to see the Count Basie big band play at the Kemper Military School Ball in his home town Boonville, Mo. Count for some reason took a liking to Steve, introducing him to the band on a break, and then letting him sit at the piano while he performed - that experience fundamentally altered Steve's DNA.

Eventually, after years of much hard practice and paying dues Million became a working jazz musician. He recorded three CD's in the mid to late 90's on Palmetto records - "Million to One", "Thanks a Million", and "Truth Is" - all featuring his writing, arranging, and playing skills as well as the great talents of Randy Brecker, Chris Potter, Dick Oatts, Ron Vincent, and Steve Cardenas to name a few of the great players involved in the projects. Million released his first piano trio side in 2003 entitled "Poetic Necessities" on the BluJazz label. This CD featured Steve's working band at the time: Tim Davis - drums, and Dave Marr - bass, the Steve Million Trio.
