Fred Hersch’s short notes on the composition:

Arcata(2003) – “Arcata is a beautiful town in Northern California, almost to Oregon. It is home to some of the most beautiful redwood groves in the world as well as being on the ocean. I dedicated this to bassist/vocalist Esperanza Spading (originally from Portland) – hence the active bass line.”

Sheet is as recorded on: The Fred Hersch Trio “Floating” (Palmetto PM-2171) – sheet written and edited by Fred Hersch.

Also available on fmscore as instrumental Bb-sheet as part of the Fred Hersch Jazz Compilation.
