Dave – Marc Seales

The rhythmic structure of this song is unusual, but not hard to understand once you've heard it. It's written in 3/4, but with a double-time bossa groove—essentially bossa in 6/4, with three half notes (quarter notes in the slower tempo) in each measure. Both the melody and changes are very smooth, flowing through stepwise patterns. There is no key center; the melody implies a B minor tonality in the 16-measure A section and G major in the 12-measure B section, but the changes are quite cyclical with few obvious resolutions. The ending vamps and fades on an F6 chord.

On the recording, the New Stories trio plays this song quite simply, without any specific rhythm section figures. This song is available as a melody lead sheet, rather than a piano trio edition as with other songs from this album.
