I mean, I've spent time 103 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 2: doing that in copying people solos and learning stuff, but 104 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 2: I've always been worried about like how to interact with 105 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 2: the musicians and how to egg someone on if they 106 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 2: if they don't have an idea, throw them something that 107 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 2: they can grab onto or there's always a give and take. 108 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: That's kind of what's exciting about it. 109 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 2: The less you think about, even when you're playing a 110 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 2: solo as being your sort of linear thoughts, and the 111 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 2: more you think of it as like a conversation with 112 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 2: the other players. 113 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: The more interesting it is. 114 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 2: So you know, you always want to leave space for 115 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 2: people and and sort of respond in real time to them. So, 116 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 2: you know, I've always thought like the less of an 117 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 2: agenda you can come into improvisation with the better it's 118 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 2: going to sound.

He he's 329 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 2: inspiring because he's so fearless, like he doesn't really worry 330 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 2: about if anyone I'll like it or not.

And I 344 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 2: just thought of a couple of weeks ago. It's been 345 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 2: a great friend and collaborator. 346 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 4: Great boy's been around thirty issue years Yeah, what's the 347 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 4: secret behind longevity here as a band? 348 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 2: I think, well, I think part of it is we 349 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 2: take time off. The first five years were amazing and 350 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 2: the band was so tight, but we were you know, 351 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 2: you get where you want to kill each other when 352 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 2: we were playing like tons of dates, like it never 353 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 2: rested and we'd come off the road and then play 354 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 2: all our weekly San Diego stept So there was never 355 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 2: a week where I didn't have a couple of Grave 356 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 2: boyd gigs for five years probably so. But after that 357 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 2: we sort of started loosening things up. But everybody has 358 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 2: side things, so they all you can kind of express 359 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 2: yourself in all these different ways, and I think the 360 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 2: great oil starts. It's always kind of kept our mission 361 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 2: statement the same, which is to play sort of pay 362 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 2: tribute to this great music and keep it improvisational but 363 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 2: also sort of dance floor friendly. So it never got 364 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 2: confused artistically, you know, it's always been like one thing, 365 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 2: and because we could do other things, we don't feel like. 366 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: We have to force every creative idea into this band. 367 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 2: This is just this thing we do and we all 368 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 2: agree on what it is, so it kind of never 369 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 2: gets older. 370 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 1: And there's just a kind of a magical chemistry. 371 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 2: It's just one of those things you never I played 372 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 2: with better musicians, but I haven't ever played it with 373 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 2: a better band. 374 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: You know. It's that thing bigger than the South of 375 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: its part to you. 376 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 4: And you've got grab Bag two thousand and seven to 377 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 4: twenty twenty three, talk about that collection. 378 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 2: So yeah, So the new album is kind of a 379 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 2: it's kind of a B sides pompilation. 380 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: Really. 381 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 2: It's like things that were either left off the records 382 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 2: because of time, you know, we didn't have enough space 383 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 2: on it, or there was they were too weird in 384 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 2: a sequence, they didn't flow good with the other songs 385 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 2: are for whatever reason. Things, you know, things didn't make 386 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 2: it on previous albums. And then there's a couple of 387 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 2: brand new songs. So it's kind of like a collection 388 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 2: of odds and ends. But we had been all listening 389 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 2: to this stuff for years and they became kind of 390 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 2: inside the band, became our favorite songs, and we were 391 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 2: always like, we should just release the stuff. This is great, Like, 392 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 2: you know, what are we scared if some of this 393 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 2: stuff is a little at the sort of at the 394 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 2: edges of what we would normally do genre wise, like 395 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 2: there's a tune that's kind of like a real jazz 396 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 2: song that has a lot of chord changes, and you know, 397 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 2: are there's like some kind of atmospheric stuff. There's like 398 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 2: a little bit stretchy. But I was I was pleasantly 399 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 2: surprised when we put it all together how well it 400 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 2: hangs as an album. It sounds like it was conceived 401 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 2: as a as a set, not not made from you know, 402 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 2: sort of discarded things. But you know, we had some 403 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 2: time and where we couldn't tour because Carl, i think, 404 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 2: was out with the Stones, and you know, everybody was 405 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 2: sort of spread out, so we kind of went into 406 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,199 Speaker 2: archive and started working on these things and finishing up 407 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 2: a bunch of stuff. 408 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: And I'm real proud of it at school.
