An adventurous trumpeter, Ron Miles has made a strong impression with his Gramavision releases. A resident of Denver since he was 11, he began playing the trumpet seriously in junior high school and studied music at the University of Denver (1981-1985) and the Manhattan School of Music (1986). In addition to local gigs, Miles visited Italy in the summer of 1992 with the play Sophisticated Ladies and was a member of the Mercer Ellington Orchestra for a couple years. He played frequently with Bill Frisell during 1994-1995, also recording with the guitarist, and worked as assistant professor of music at Denver's Metropolitan Stage College. Ron Miles has recorded for Prolific (1986) and Capri (1990), as well as several advanced sets for Gramavision. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide Representative Albums: Woman's Day, My Cruel Heart, Laughing Barrel The music is clearly rooted in the African-American experience, it reflects a variety of influences besides swing and bop-- everything from the blues of Jimi Hendrix and Robert Johnson, to roots gospel and country sources. tracks 1 Parade2 New Breed Leader3 Psychedelic Black Man4 Still Small Voice5 Jesus Loves Me6 Sunday Best7 Fairy Court try this albums you will love ERIK DEUTSCH: Fingerprint RON MILES: Blossom / Stone RON MILES: Heaven genres you will love Jazz: Jazz Fusion Jazz: Traditional Jazz Combo Type: Improvisational By Location USA: Colorado Recommended if you like ...
