Interesting Facts about the Recording
- The Trio's Genesis: The trio featured on Old Main Chapel was a short-lived but musically profound collaboration, formed shortly before this 2011 recording. The concert served as a public premiere for the compositions that the trio would record the following day for their studio debut, Quiver.
- The Obscure Cover: The inclusion of "There Ain't No Sweet Man that's Worth the Salt of My Tears" is notable. The song, a rarity, was originally popularized in the 1920s by early jazz and blues artists, and Miles's inclusion of it highlights his deep, wide-ranging knowledge of American music history.
- The Location: The Old Main Chapel is an historic landmark on the University of Colorado Boulder campus. The unique acoustics of the chapel are captured in the recording, lending a resonant, sacred quality to the intimate trio performance.
- The Posthumous Release: Ron Miles, a revered educator and musician, tragically passed away in 2022. This release is part of Blue Note's commitment to preserving and celebrating his extraordinary body of work.
