In the 1990’s Miller worked on a series of jazz albums, finding her true calling working in that idiom.

Vocalist Catherine Russell proclaims, “Katherine will always be my first choice for a recording and mixing engineer. She is meticulous when it comes to getting instruments and voices to sound natural. I was immediately drawn in by the warmth and clarity of her recordings", while vibraphonist/composer Joe Locke asserts, “Having Katherine Miller at the recording console of any session is a great asset. She is undoubtedly one of the finest recording engineers working today", and drummer, Lewis Nash states, "Katherine, in my opinion, is one the finest engineers in the business. When I walk into a studio and see Katherine in the control booth, I immediately relax and know all is well!"
