Heaven (Ron Miles album)

Heaven is an album by trumpeter Ron Miles with guitarist Bill Frisell which was released on the Stirling Circle label in 2002.

[1] Allmusic's Robert L. Doerschuk stated "On these stark and stunning duets, Miles and Frisell display complete rapport with respect to manipulating silences and minimal resources.

There's an arid quality in their approach, which turns each title into an audio approximation of a desert mirage, shimmering yet still in heavy, timeless heat.

Ron Miles has a breathy, very lyrical approach to the trumpet; his six originals here have memorable, straightforward melodies that seem to cry out for words.

[5] In JazzTimes Bill Milkowski wrote "Heaven finds the two kindred spirits exchanging ideas in an intimate, purely acoustic setting like old friends engaged in a warm, animated conversation".
