Compositions of Erik Turkman
Erik Turkman is a bassist who
currently lives in the Stanford, California area.
How Can I Tell You? was composed 1996. It is intended to
be part of a musical, a retelling of the story of Noah and the Ark. This song is
sung by Noah's wife, after Noah tells her they have to build an ark. How Can
I Tell You? was first recorded on The Spanish Inquisition.
The section with the dotted quarter notes (systems five and six)
can be thought of as a bridge, and the rhythm section should feel the dotted
quarter note as a new superimposed pulse. Solos are over the vamp, but each solo
ends by taking the head one time through. To end the tune, we often play the
first section twice, then vamp out on the Db chord.
