(from Charles Uzzell Edwards, 07 June 1999)
In the past 8 years I have worked with Jonah on djing at a lot of chill
rooms and doing the first ambient clubs that happened in SF. The first on
record was a one off Sunday event at the Eagle, a gay bar on Market
Street.
We did a one off called the 'ch ill out cafe' on Haight Street and then
'The ambient club', a regular weekly gig (original name eh!) at the coco
club and eventually moved to doing 'the Gardening club' at the Caribbean
Zone where Jonah was a guest DJ a lot. I worked on the artwork for
'Ambiento' and hooked him up with Pete Namlook, Tetsu Inoue, and
Astralwerks.
In return, once at a party at Russian River, Jonah showed me a battery
operated Roland 606 and that moment changed the course of my life, making
me want to make music rather than just play records that other people have
made. I am sure Jonah has been an inspiration to many heads all over the
world. (see attatched picture of me asleep on that very day ... photo
by Jonah or Billee). I am very proud to own two copies of Jonah's
Flurescence ep on Reflective which I think is a brilliant record, my
favorite of all the records they released.
