"Solo
Flights resonates with remarkable virtuosity:
double stops and singing arco passages alternate
with walking bass lines. Seaton embellishes melodies
with harmonics, trills, and lilting swing, making
an effort to achieve texture even during his most
relaxed moments."
-Nils Jacobson, AllAboutJazz.com
"The
technique of a classical musician, a jazzman's flair
for improvisation, a madman's
fearlessness and diabolical sense of humor."
-Jim Ferguson, JazzTimes (February
2001)
"...sweet
surprise of the year ... astonishingly
versatile ... gorgeous
recording ... If you've ever thought that a
solo bass recital was just an excuse to take a nap, Solo
Flights is the album that will change your mind. Thanks
to OmniTone for getting this thoroughly absorbing session
released."
-IAJRC (International Association of Jazz Record Collectors) Journal (Summer
2001)
"Playful
and introspective..."
-John Ephland, Down Beat (February
2001)
"...boast[s]
a spirit of bold experimentation
while still embracing the Old School."
-Bill Milkowski, Bass Player (May
2001)
