'It’s difficult to express the depth of loss to our community that comes with Ron Miles’ death. He was respected on the world stage and likely could’ve thrived in New York, but chose to make Denver his home.' 🎺
Like a lot of listeners, I’ve spent a good deal of time with the music of cornetist-bandleader-composersince learning of his March 8 passing. It’s still a shock, and I’ve often thought about his keen intelligence, his words of encouragement and his enthusiasm for sound. I never left a conversation with Miles without feeling elevated.
Fifty-eight is too young to depart from the world, especially when it comes to someone who was just finally getting the respect he deserved as an artist. His first Blue Note effort, “Rainbow Sign,” was as fine as any jazz album released in 2020, and there was a 2018 Grammy nomination for his recording with saxophonist Joshua Redman, “Still Dreaming.” Even though Miles left behind a beautiful trail of music, there had to be so much more he wanted to say.
