About Me


Valerie Mih is an independent pianist and composer. She performs solo and with her group, Circular Dreaming, as well as appearing regularly with legendary jazz trumpeter/composer Eddie Gale. She has performed at leading jazz festivals and venues, including the Vision Festival (NYC), San Jose Jazz Festival, Bach Dynamite Society, Sista's Place (NYC), Zebulon Cafe Concert (NYC), Club Jazz Nouveau (SF). Rooted in the jazz tradition of improvisation, her musical style can be described as a mixture of post-bop, ambient, minimalist and experimental streams.
