Adapted from Kurt Elling’s iconic rendition of Jaco Pastorius’ “Three Views of a Secret,” this SSATB chart surrounds a deeply expressive baritone soloist with guitar, piano, bass, and drums. The bass part is fully notated, while the piano chart uses slashes and chord symbols with two written passages. Elling’s own melodic phrasing is on the page, along with his sweeping vocalese created with Phil Galdston and inspired by Wayne Shorter’s solo on Weather Report’s 1980 “Night Passage.” After the head, an improv section invites either a vocal or instrumental solo; the demo features guitar, but any confident improviser can step in.
Pastorius’ harmony stays full of pleasant ambushes, yet the jazz-waltz groove quickly feels inevitable, underscoring the “three” motif running through both title and lyric. Singers will find themselves navigating dense colors one moment and transparent textures the next, all in service of a lyric that leans into mystery and transcendence. The chart requires mature ears and rhythmic poise, yet once it clicks, the journey feels organic and fresh at every turn. A decisive final tag provides the kind of payoff that makes for a knockout concert closer.
