Marc Seales - People & Places - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Whether performing with the heaviest jazz luminaries or with his own bands, pianist Marc Seales' deeply lyrical and blues-based approach to modern jazz has helped define the sound of Jazz in the Northwest for several decades. For his third recording in his InchAmerican SongsInch series, Seales brings together his longtime compatriots - guitarist Fred Hamilton, drummer Gary Hobbs, and bassists, Jeff Johnson and Dave Captein - to tackle a set that includes R&B / Soul classics such as Curtis Mayfield's InchPusher ManInch and InchFreddie's Dead,Inch the Jimmy Webb hit InchWichita Lineman,Inch and a collection of Seales' originals, inspired by places and journeys.

It's perfect music for looking out your window these sorrowful points of human struggling and and injecting them with a sense of eroism. -CMJ.
