Hi Scott,

You once said that among Kinsey's tunes, you like Jinshi.
I love it too. Landau is really great on it. It always blew my mind how they could speed up and slow down together so smoothly (because the speed varies a little almost between each note played, so how can all members of the band be perfectly in time, unless they're brain-sync or something like that ?)
Then I listened to it live at the BP (with a guy called Scott Henderson on the guitar, if I remember well). Great too. But I noticed the tempo is always the same all along the song (compared to the album version, the band sound like in a hurry).

So I'm wondering : did they play it like that on the record and Kinsey played with the tempo on his computer, or did they actually slow down and speed up together while playing? (I don't even know if you know, but I ask though).

keep on wankin'
Kevin

When we played it on the road, Kinsey wanted the tempo change sometimes and sometimes not, and we played it at many different tempos - it was never a computer tune. Our tempo change version was just as smooth as the recorded version with Mike. It's just a feel thing - no way to scientifically discuss it, you just practice it until everyone's on the same page. Definitely one of my favorite Kinsey tunes.

Thanks for the answer.
I have to say that I would have been a little disappointed to learn that there was computer involved in the process. And since it's not that way, I have to say I'm really impressed.

For sur it's all about playing together and feel. What I meant is that it'as changing all of the time, it's not "look at me I'm speeding up", then cruise, then 30s later, "look at me I'm slowing down", cruise again. Really challenging!
I don't even think I could name any other tune where this happens. Could you?

No, but I've always had a few tunes in the set which gradually slow down for the ending - same thing, just practicing for awhile on how much and then everyone gets it.
