  Artist/Title: Carlos Giffoni - 9 hours with Jim and the Greatful Dead 4 Format: CDR Label: Carbon Records Price: $8 Catalog ID: CR54 [Recently found inventory from record store. 1 copy back in stock!] "9 hours with jim and the greatful dead is a 30+ minute improvisation using guitar, amp and a few guitar modulation effects that I find unique and necessary to express through certain sounds, and is a one take 30+ minute "jam". when I first planned to record it it was meant to be a joke on a long and strange conversation I had with Jim Dunbar and Don Fleming at a show the night before about The Legendary Greatful Dead jams in the west coast that supposedly lasted sometimes up to that long and that apparently Jim saw more than once. I wanted to make something with enough variation of sound and mood so that it felt like it was 9 hours compressed in a much shorter "jam", steal some interesting moments from the eternal dictation and crunch them all together in one piece. When I started playing the guitar, the piece evolved into something else and I just let it go. for 30 minutes +, what I consider a long time for 1 "jam". maybe I am to young and have a short attention span, or maybe I just wasn't there. You can ask Jim about it, Jim was there, for 9 hours, more than once. I really couldn't be there, I wasn't born at the time and currently I am still trying to finish college."
