Editorial Reviews
Ed Hazell, the Boston Phoenix October 3, 1997
Boston-area pianist Bert Seager leads one of the most beautifully poised and lyrical trios in jazz (no small claim).

Product Description
This music invites the listener into a warm and mostly quiet world of lyrical sound. "Pioneer" is the fourth trio CD recording of jazz pianist Bert Seager. It was recorded at WGBH Studio by the three time Emmy winning recording engineer, Antonio Oliart Ros. The piano used was a seven-foot Hamburg Steinway. The recorded sound is natural, clean and spacious.

Though based in the traditions of jazz piano trio, "Pioneer" has a breathing conversant quality where interaction rather than role-playing is emphasized. The time feel is honest and grooving yet open to many possibilities. After performing together for many years, this trio exhibits a playful assuredness that belies their mastery and sophistication.
