Why this tune?
This week’s tune is another original that I wrote in 2016. it’s an instrumental tune exploring some harmonic ideas. I chose the title after I wrote the tune, deciding to look for a Biblical reference that fit the mood of the piece. I thought the phrase “as water covers the sea” from Isaiah 11:9 fit the brief.
I just added the lead sheet for this tune to my new music site shop.ohljazz.com, where you can find music for over 30 of my songs, plus notes and links to performances and recordings.
I invite you to check it out and maybe download one or two. I’m always open to new interpretations of my tunes. I’ve been pleasantly surprised to hear what different musicians do with the material. If you find anything interesting, please let me know!
