Much agreed! Jack Johnson is my fave too. Let's hope they rerelease Get Up
With It as well. Actually, anyone who likes this era of Miles should pick
up the Neon 12" that came out on Ntone a little while back. It's Rhys
Chatham (who did noize guitar stuff at the same time as Glenn Branca back
in the early 80s) & Martin Wheeler. Chatham plays a trumpet through some
massive distortion over Wheeler's beats-- which aren't the greatest but
Chatham's playing more than makes up for it.
