Details:
Denver trumpeter Ron Milesâ resume includes time with Bill Frisell, Madeleine Peyroux, Don Byron, the Ellington Orchestra, and Fred Hess' Boulder Creative Music Ensemble. Besides being solicited all over the world for his unique sound, Ron is a staple of the Denver jazz scene and his recent releases as band leader show off his skills as a composer and arranger as well as a âphenomenally gifted trumpeterâ (Bill Milkowski).
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). Miles says that living in Denver has given him an appreciation for a broad array of musical styles that he might not have acquired elsewhere. âCountry and Western music, Latin, jazz, and rock are all popular here, so you find yourself trying out a lot of ideas with other musicians and gaining a healthy respect for the music,â he explains.
Ron Miles was widely recognized as a musical director and arranger with the release of Ginger Bakerâs Coward of the County (Atlantic 1999). His compositions anchor that record and highlight the varied influences from which Ron draws inspiration. Hailed as an inventive composer and gifted trumpeter on his solo releases, Ron cruised through the 1990s with a series of well-received releases on Gramavision (My Cruel Heart, Womanâs Day) and Capri (Witness, Ron Miles Trio).
In 2002 Ron slowed it down for a quiet, intimate recording with friend and master jazz guitarist Bill Frisell. Heaven again showcases Ronâs talent as an arranger, particularly on Hank Williamsâ âYour Cheatinâ Heartâ and Bob Dylanâs âA Hard Rainâs A-Gonna Fallâ According to Bill Frisell, "What is so exciting about Ron is that he really has his own voice. It seems like everything that is going on right now is either very conservative or it rejects everything. Ron has found a way to include everything and not reject things, and still be his own person." Miles said of his playing with Bill, âI think we share a fondness for striking melody, patience and the importance of individual timbre."
This new release is a Double album. Stone and Blossom feature new songs by Ron, as well as outstanding recordings from some of Denverâs finest musicians. Blossom also features a cover of I Woke Up In Love This Morning by the Partridge Family, and I'll Be There by The Jackson Five.
