Ron Miles: Rainbow Sign

Jazz cornetist Ron Miles died recently, at the same age as me. 

I know a little of his work via his association with Bill Frisell.

I had (somehow!) totally missed this 2020 release on Blue note, which features Frisell and other great players. Really lovely album. Turns out to be his last.

Nice review here.
