My sentiments exactly. It sounds like a Bitches Brew knockoff and doesn't
really add much to it. The only track I've liked from MIRON forward is "Iambic
5 Poetry" - I haven't bothered to pick up 'Selection Sixteen' since I've been so
disappointed the past few releases. He's a really great musician; I think he's
capable of much more imaginative work than recycled fusion jazz.
