Valley Plaza (reprise) (Recorded 4/2/00- IL3)

GS: "We weren't initially going to use two versions of this. Our criteria for choosing a composed piece is always based on how well the main themes are stated. In this case, the first version certainly did that better, but is a lot more formal and has no solo. This version is more relaxed, and while it doesn't state the themes as definitely as the first piece, it doesn't have to. I had ignored it, but when I was playing cassettes of the whole 4-day session for my significant other she remarked, during the solo on this piece, 'Wow, this is great. This one'll be on the CDs, of course. Won't it?' She was right, it was good; I got sucked into it right along with her. Suddenly I realized I needed to reconsider. I did some quick work with a pen and calculator and hashed out this VP/Gidget sandwich, hoping Hyam would agree when it was presented to him. We'd already used multiple 'Erwin Park' versions, so I thought by using that approach twice we could not only present more good music but also establish a useful trend: using sufficiently different multiple versions as recurring themes/variations. I'd already done this with 'Darkland Express' years before but for some reason it never occurred to me to apply it to any other project until we started compiling the Jugalbandi stuff.
