GS: This is an improv from a tape recorded shortly after the 2/8/89 Be-Bop Records show. We wanted to just relax and unwind and do some jamming. As usual, we recorded, hoping to catch something which could later be turned into a piece, or to capture some bit of once-only magic. I don't know if this is magic but I think it's pretty damned good; at very least, it deserves better than to stay sitting unheard on a shelf.
HS: For my money I think that the standout element of this is definitely Greg’s playing — you can hear how his ideas are germinating one after the other, especially during the first five minutes or so. Once we break-free from the strict 5/4 meter things really loosen-up and flow. The quarter-note walking that George begins at around 6:43 really creates lots of musical space in which we roam free, yet it firmly anchors everything.
