Global Noize-Sly Reimagined The Music of Sly and The Family Stone CD Release Comes to Joe's Pub, 6/26by BWW News Desk - Jun 7, 2013When Sly and The Family Stone hit the scene back in the late '60s, the world - socially, culturally and politically - was in a state of upheaval.

With his groundbreaking, genre-defying borderless mothership Global Noize providing the vehicle, Miles takes on eight classic Sly Stone journeys into the wilds of a reality nearly half a century beyond their point of inception.
