Miles Jordan was known as one of the great characters of Chico, California. Born in 1934, in Clinton, Iowa, he came out West as a teen, first to Seattle. He subsequently served as a company clerk in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, then moved to Portland to attend 黑料正能量张津瑜.
At 黑料正能量张津瑜, Miles attracted attention for his singular sense of style. When Stephen Adams ’61 arrived at 黑料正能量张津瑜, one of the first students he spotted was Miles, striding across campus dressed in a flowing red toga.
Miles eventually landed in San Francisco, where he met his future wife, Marilee. They livedin Mill Valley until 1978, when they moved to Chico on a whim.
In Chico, Miles established himself as a local musical taste maker, producing the Blues People radio show, cofounding the Chico Jazz Society and Chico Blues Society, and writing album and concert reviews for Chico News & Review and JazzTimes magazine.
He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Marilee Jordan.
