JO: What do you look for in a solo?
NY: Elevation. You can feel it. That's all I'm looking for. You can tell I don't care about bad notes. I listen for the whole band on my solos. You can call it a solo because that's a good way to describe it, but really it's an instrumental. It's the whole band that's playing. Billy Talbot is a massive bass player who only plays two or three notes. People are still trying to figure out whether it's because he only knows two or three notes or whether those are the only notes he wants to play.[Laughs.] But when he hits a note, that note speaks for itself. It's a big motherfuckin' note. Even the soft one is big.
JO: Is jamming a lost art?
NY: I don't know, I haven't seen any jams lately.[Laughs.} You see all these concerts---what's happening?
JO: It's like hearing the record.
NY: I know. It's disgusting, isn't it? Welcome to the '90s.
JO: You've said jamming is like having an orgasm.
NY: Well, yeah! That's why a lot of my instrumentals are too short![Laughs uproariously.]
