Live in Belgium 1958

We honor the legacy of the brilliant & beloved trumpeter & composer #RonMiles with the May 10 release of 'Old Main Chapel,' a sublime 2011 live recording featuring guitarist Bill Frisell & drummer Brian Blade. Listen to the track “Mr. Kevin” & pre-order: ronmiles.lnk.to/OldMainChapel

Check this out! Testing out the verse for my new song ‘Sweeter Than Love’ for the upcoming album. It’s raw, unpolished, and unfiltered—bells and whistles not added yet! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts. You’re getting the first listen before it’s fully polished.
