Here, tenor saxophonist Ami Cheatham accelerates the overall sense of the dynamic with an extended and altogether raucous solo! Yet on the title track, drummer Harry Wellot and percussionist Craig Ellis employ a cavalcade of odd metered rhythms and subtle tonal shadings that spur the orchestral voicings into loose swing vamps amid climactic developments.
A live recording, The Seeker is dedicated to the memory of John Coltrane and features the thunderous and somewhat brawny sounds of the large orchestra along with sequences comprising a handful of soloists performing introspective themes amid fluttering horns, dainty percussion and counterbalancing motifs. Pianist/trumpeter/educator Mark Harvey also serves as the music director, conductor and composer for "The Aardvark Jazz Orchestra”.
