JC (1957) wrote Joint at the suggestion of the AFMM director to find the nexus point between 19-tone equal temperament and 31-tone equal temperament, keeping in mind just intonation at all times. Part of the plan was to bring together Denver, Colorado’s guitar original, Neil Haverstick with tNew York’s guitar wizard, Catler. “The piece is based on the 3 against 4 rhythm implied by 31-tone equal’s 4-note semitone against 19-tone equal’s 3-note semitone. These ‘traveling notes’ result in a sort of harmonized bend which lends itself to the blues.”
