about

Night Crazy (16:42, IL1)
HS: This piece seemed to come out of nowhere on the first afternoon session. To me, the loops that Greg sets-up during the first few minutes establish a musical context that anchor the piece throughout its 16+ minutes. The unusual percussion sound heard at 6:25 is a splash cymbal that I placed on my 16” floor tom. I played on both the cymbal and the drum before moving around to the rest of the kit at around 9:00, returning to the tom/cymbal combination at 10:05 until the cymbal fell off the drum at 11:20—you can hear it hit the floor and roll around. Greg used his 7-string Stratocaster magnificently on this piece, with his grinding low riffs at 12:45 and 14:01 (plus the low note that ends the piece) giving Night Crazy an other-worldly sonority. The back-and-forth trading that begins at 15:55 is some of my favorite playing from the entire 5-day session. The title came from my cat Neugher’s habit of galloping and howling all around the house almost every night while our family slept—or tried to. (Neugher is featured on the disc’s cover and tray card.)
GS: I love when you’re creating a piece and you know it’s going to work, you’re really enjoying the music as it happens. This was one of those times. Love the splash cymbal on the floor tom. Hyam’s willingness to experiment throughout these sessions was one of the things that made them so fun. This tendency has always been there- he once got up and played Dog Neutral bass player Barry Kennedy’s strings with soft mallets during an improv (“The Dog Ate My Homework”)- but it’s just not something he got to exercise often enough. On the recordings from these sessions you will really hear him stretch out- on a variety of instruments- and get a glimpse at the considerable depth of his imagination.
