Very sad to hear that Ron Miles has died at the age of 58. The cause of death was the rare blood disorder polycythemia vera, according to NPR citing Miles' manager Hans Wendl. Miles was on many great jazz records over the years and his loss will be keenly felt whether from his extraordinary rapport with Ginger Baker on Coward of the County in the 1990s to Still Dreaming and Rainbow Sign more recently. Cornetist and composer Miles to all who knew his work was someone who made the heart sing. Photo: Elliot Ross/Blue Note
