Ocean by Aakash Mittal

Aakash Mittal's Colorado Quartet featuring Ron Miles.

From the liner notes:

I love how music expresses environment, culture, and experience. Colorado music has a unique aesthetic that comes from open spaces and a laid-back western culture. Even though we are land locked in Colorado, I hear an ocean of depth, space, and texture in our music. No one epitomizes the Colorado sound better than Ron Miles. Miles has virtuosity, world experience, and open spaces all wrapped up in the tone of his trumpet. Within a single note he creates an ocean among the mountains. The same can be said for Matt Fuller, Jean-Luc Davis, and Josh Moore. When they play, I hear the mountains and endless sky. It has been an amazing journey exploring spaces and expanses with these musicians over the years. I hope you enjoy our music!
