This is a complete transcription of the guitar and bass part on “Nothing Happens Here”. This is a calm and noticeably simple tune (reflective of its title?) where the band revel beautifully in the key of C Major. Enjoy!
“ I would say, emotionally, … ‘Nothing Happens Here’ is kind of the center piece of the record. There is a duality at play with a lot of these songs: … There is this conversation between the improvised world and the written world. But no other song on the record is as explicit as this one, in terms of presenting you with … almost like a hymnal style song. It is basically a refrain that happens three times, and then there is a pregnant pause, and then it is almost like a Paul Motian-tune, the last part, this extended coda that invites group improvisation, group composition. And I think it captures the temperament of the whole record quite succinctly. So it is fitting to have it just as kind of a night cab to the whole record. ”
– Julian Lage, on “First Look” with Don Was of Blue Note Records (4 March 2024)
