I Will Sleep

I Will Sleep by Brother Seamus

A basic jazz track in AABA form, except I expanded each section from the usual 8 bar length to 12 bars. I was inspired to record this after listening to Coleman Hawkins' recording of Body & Soul and Miles Davis' In a Silent Way. The chord changes and modulations are a lot more simple than the former, yet it has more melodic structure than the latter.

I used a borrowed Gibson Les Paul Standard to record this and am now in love with that fat LP sound.
