Asphalt cocktail is about a verrrrrry crazy taxi ride that includes sharp turns, nearly missing things, and above all, going as fast a humanly possible

It was a phrase a friend of his came up with and he liked it so much he wanted to use it as the title, if i remember correctly. John Mackey has the actual story on his website in case im mistaken

I saw him speak about this piece when he worked with the Oklahoma state Wind Ensemble. He said the inspiration for this piece was from all of the rush and craziness of life when he lived in New York City and yes described it as sort of a crazy taxi ride.

Ya'll know at 5:01 the groove is an accent on 3. Every metal song does that and then switches to 2 and 4. And yea its fucking sick. More classical composers should listen to metal and other shit like that where the grooves are even more rediculous..maybe then the classical world will stop complaining about how all their music sounds the same.

the name reminds me of someone who has had one too many alchoholic cocktails and now their face is hitting the asphalt. the clarinet solo @1:46 reminds me of that same guy wolf whistling at all the chicks at the bar but he looks like a total jackass while doing it. and so, after unsucessfully hitting on chicks, he drives home drunk and almost crashes into stuff. oh and the mafia @ 3:30 demands their money from him and starts trying to kill him. my lovely interpretation of the song ;)
