Celebrated for his distinctive voice on trumpet and cornet, elegant and timeless, RON MILES was equally at ease with classical music, jazz as well as with more out there experimentations. When he passed away a year ago the world lost a great artist and educator, who was deeply admired by his peers and loved by music fans.
On the eve of what would have been his sixtieth birthday Rizzoli Music Aperitivo will host a tribute to his music and legacy with a performance by KIRK KNUFFKE, who in addition to being one of the most distinctive musicians on the scene was mentored by Ron Miles before moving to New York. For the occasion he will perform with a stellar trio assembled especially for this occasion and featuring two world-class musicians like BRANDON SEABROOK on guitar and MATT WILSON on drums.
RIZZOLI MUSIC APERITIVO
From Francis Scott Fitzgerald to Jack Kerouac, from Toni Morrison to James Baldwin, from Philip Michael Ondaatje to Geoff Dyer, from Julio Cortazar to Boris Vian, from Amiri Baraka and Ishmael Reed to Jayne Cortez, the list of international writers and poets inspired or intrigued by jazz and other musical genres goes on. Since New York City’s Rizzoli Bookstore has a long tradition of building bridges between arts genres, international scenes, and creative people, we wanted to turn our gorgeous space in NoMad into an experimental living room where live jazz and other music can be enjoyed. The Rizzoli Music Aperitivo is sponsored by Field Blend Selections and is curated by Mondo Jazz, the weekly Radio Free Brooklyn show dedicated to international jazz
MONDO JAZZ

FIELD BLEND SELECTIONS
Founded in January 2017, Field Blend Selections is a new wine importing and distribution company based in New York City, serving the New York and New Jersey markets.
In both name and practice, Field Blend Selections celebrates agricultural traditions and diversity. The name is an homage to the nineteenth-century immigrants who co-planted an assortment of grape varieties in vineyards throughout the United States, many of which survive today. Alongside their vines, they often co-planted other crops, including fruits, grains, and legumes. This approach of co-mingling various plantings to achieve balance in the vineyards is now referred to as polyculture, and it is widely recognized as one of the best methods for naturally enriching soils and reducing disease. Polyculture, by replicating nature’s diverse ecosystems, produces healthier fruit without the necessity of artificial herbicides or pesticides
