Dara factor one
(Zawinul)
Erskine explained the genesis of "Dara Factor One"
and "Dara Factor Two" to Brian Glasser: "The Dara
Factors--that was one long jam. I remember they got
this extra-large reel of tape, and when we were doing it
they even ran a speaker out into the lounge so all the
people working in the studio could hear it. We wanted
to do a jam, and at one point I said, 'Joe, how about
something like this? This would be fun,' and I played a
kind of pocket groove. I thought it was cool. And Joe
waved me to stop. He's standing in the center of the
room, I'm in my drum booth, and he says through the
microphones, 'What's fun about that? I don't hear
anything fun in that.' So that's why Dara had that kind
of ass-backwards beat, because he was always
looking for something out of the ordinary."
Brian Risner told Glasser, "Dara Factor was basically,
'Hey, we got an hour left. What are we gonna do?' And
I was so efficient with the production on that record--we
had two days booked, and we'd gone in and gotten two
takes on everything, maybe three, and we'd gotten
everything we wanted. So he had an interesting
sequence pattern, probably on the Oberheim, and they
jammed on that. There was a lot of work on post [-
production] on it, because basically it was a groove
and a basic melody, so we cut it and added a lot of the
accents and stuff to make it work."
