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
