Steve Miller first came to the notice of many people as the piano player on the stand out track from Free's debut album Tons Of Sobs in 1968 although Steve was also in demand as a session musician for many other acts including Daddy Longlegs, John Dummer and the legendary Alexis Korner. Steve played on the track that almost became the bands calling card 'The Hunter'. Following on from this, Steve poured all his energies into his own band Delivery alongside his brother Phil Miller on guitar and Pip Pyle on drums. Delivery made a number of albums but were sidelined however when Steve had the opportunity to replace Dave Sinclair in Canterbury stalwarts Caravan. Steve contributed to the album Waterloo Lily even contributing to the writing of the album and Waterloo Lily contains two of Steve's songs 'It's Coming Soon' and 'Songs And Signs' and as a result of his input the sound of the band changed noticeably. After recording just the one album with Caravan, Steve moved onto other projects both in a solo capacity and also collaborations, with musicians like Lol Coxhill and also contributed to the legendary Miniatures album put together by keyboard player Morgan Fisher although he did decline to rejoin a reformed Delivery alongside his brother Phil, Pip Pyle and Richard Sinclair. Subsequently this band, with Dave Stewart in tow on keyboards, became Hatfield and the North.

Having turned down the opportunity to be a part of this legendary Canterbury band Steve preferred to work alongside Lol Coxhill and performed under various names such as Steve Miller and friends, the Steve Miller Quartet and K.Ostra.

Sadly however in the summer of 1998 Steve Miller was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. There was an incredible amount of support for Steve and a benefit concert was arranged and Steve was able to perform at the gig alongside his brother Phil in a re-formed Delivery and the Steve Miller Jazz Quartet.

Piano Solos was amongst the final recordings that Steve made; he started the recording for this album in the latter half of 1996 and it contains seven tracks of Steve's solo piano pieces each reflecting various moods. Sadly, despite a determined battle Steve died on December 9th 1998 at the age of 55.
