I wrote this piece around the time I moved from Seattle to Utah. I was in my early twenties. As I mentioned in another post, I enjoy using the jazz minor modes in funk music. This was my first composition to do so. The Bb augmented chord which makes up the third mode of the G jazz minor scale is emphasized in the main riff, as are the two modes built off of the E and F# -7b5 chords. The solos take place over the C and D dominant chords. There is a section that features a series of dominant 7ths in a II7-V7-I7 type progression. These chords briefly take the piece outside of G jazz minor.
I made this recording using my Eric Johnson Stratocaster. The amp is my Vox 15-watt. The chords and bass were prerecorded on my BOSS RC-2 loop station. Some of the leads were worked out previous to the recording, while others are improvised.
