Looking for a specific solo piano jazz album from the 80s

[Erick]

Hi there, back in the early 80s I fell in love with a solo jazz piano track from what I believe is a northern European artist. The album cover, from memory, showed three photos of small waves coming to the shore. The track which still haunt me, had a very repetitive chord, kinda of similar to The Cure by Keith Jarret. 
Thanks for reading and helping if you can.

That's a great album whether it's the one being sought or not

Indeed. I haven't listened in a while so I'm not sure if there's a solo track is on this one.

Me neither, time to get it out

I remember reading somewhere that Ondas is one of Manfred Eicher's favorite albums in the entire ECM catalog.

Lmk if you find the solo piece. I won't be able to listen until later.

No solo tracks on 'Ondas' so it's not the one @Erick seeks.

But what a superb album it is, my LP sounds absolutely gorgeous. Christensen (one of my favourite drummers) and Gomez are so on it throughout

Nock was a New Zealander? Good player!

In Out and Around is my favorite album.

I'm thinking it's "Ondas" as well. The piano, especially on Forgotten Love is so prominent with a repetitive chord throughout.
The cover matches perfectly. It's early 80s ... "Northern European" ... "Jarrett-like" and so on.

Very underrated musician, this Mike Nock.
