People Involved:
In American Songs, Vol. 2, his 2014 Origin Records release, pianist Marc Seales continues his musical journey of the American landscape with a set of original works plus arrangements of John Coltrane's Giant Steps and the Wayne Shorter/Miles Davis classic ESP. Seales has assembled a formidable group of players for this outing, his followup to the 2010 American Songs, Vol. 1, which paid homage to American radio hits of the 1970s, with longtime collaborators Fred Hamilton on guitar; Seattle musician Jeff Johnson and Portland's Dave Captein sharing bass duties, and Portland musician Gary Hobbs on drums.
