GS: This is our 2nd try from that day and we think it's particularly tasty. This one was around from the Dog Neutral days and came out of a rhythmic idea of Hyam's and a riff I'd stumbled over in a jam a few months previous to my bringing it in to the band.
HS: Actually, my original idea for the piece wasn't rhythmic as much as it was atmospheric. I had an idea for something with with a legato melody and a loose feel, with a 'swirling' keyboard part filling-in the space, and Greg's melody was just the sort of thing I had in mind. In Jugalbandi we've simply dispensed with the keyboard part and use what remains as one of our more composed frameworks for improvisation. I've always loved the sound of big swish cymbals, and MIRV is the perfect vehicle for that particular wash of sound. Greg pulls-out his "Rock God" chops at 8:09, and his Earl Scruggs chops at 12:26. I pull-out my fondnes for small cymbals at 13:34.
