Cornetist And Composer Ron Miles Will Make His Blue Note Debut On October 9 With Rainbow Sign, The Deeply Affecting Follow-Up To His Widely Acclaimed 2017 Album I Am A Man, Which Reconvenes The Same Remarkable Band Featuring Pianist Jason Moran, Guitarist Bill Frisell, Bassist Thomas Morgan, And Drummer Brian Blade. The Album Is A Set Of Nine New Original Miles Compositions Including The Striking First Single “Queen Of The South,” A Piece Miles Says Was Informed By Ethiopian Pop. Miles Wrote Most Of Rainbow Sign As His Father Was Passing Away In The Summer Of 2018. “I Became More Of A Caregiver To Him,” He Says. “I Was So Happy That We Made It All The Way Around, And That He Was Able To Know Before He Passed Just How Much He Was Loved.” That’s Why The Album Feels So Endearing: It Scores The Journey From Earth To Eternal Peace.
