bradm Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 Last week, I was riding home on the bus, and had a great idea for a riff. Luckily, it was a Tuesday, so I worked on it at home and brought it to Dekcuf as a possible idea for a Tuesday jam. I was explaining it to the bass player, and said something like, "It sort of sounds like Mahavishu Orchestra." "Uh, I don't really know them too well..." "OK, it's also kind of Santana." "Great! I got it!" Well, it wasn't "kind of Santana", it was Santana: "Incident At Neshabur", to be exact (not the very first riff, the one that comes just after the intro). I realized this much later; at the time, I thought it was an original. I guess it made an impression on me when I heard it initially, but the exact details of where it came from had vanished from my memory. I really hadn't intended to rip stuff off from Santana*; as Harlan Ellison has said, everything you absorb over the years goes into that melting pot that is the answer to the question, "Where do you get your ideas?" Aloha, Brad * But, hey, if you're gonna steal, steal from the best... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read a great book on Carlos, called Soul Sacrafice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read a great book on Carlos, called Soul Sacrafice. I just listened to it this afternoon, and, well, it's not quite the same. The problem was that the drummer couldn't quite get the emphasis down, and the jam lost a lot of the intensity of the Santana original.
