His expansive, deeply lyrical and blues-drenched approach to modern jazz has made Seattle pianist Marc Seales a favorite sideman of touring luminaries for decades. In particular, long associations with Mark Murphy, Larry Coryell and Ernie Watts turned into albums, tours and lasting friendships. Seales returns the invite on People & Places by making a trip to saxophonist Ernie Watts' home turf in Los Angeles, teaming with him and Watts' longtime bandmate, bassist Bruce Lett, and taking advantage of the locale to reconnect with drummer Moyes Lucas, Jr., who goes back with Seales to the early '80s in Seattle. While pulling together a collection of originals that span the last 30 years, along with a take on Wayne Shorter's "Palladium," the album's through line slowly became apparent—it's all about the people & places, and the collaborations found & nurtured through the years. Though retired after an inspired 38-year career at the University of Washington, Seales continues on that fruitful path.

"...astonishingly vivid electronic colorations balanced within acoustic performances... Perhaps the strongest facet of Marc Seales' playing is that he's always "in the moment." (All About Jazz)

"Nice and easy soul jazz in world view of Grover Washington Jr is laid out by Marc Seales, playing piano and keyboards and featuring the warm tenor sax of Ernie Watts alongside Bruce Lett/b and Moyes Lucas, Jr/dr. Seales goes does as easy as 25 year old Scottish Whiskey as he plays the keyboards on the dreamy “Rue Cler” and veers around Let on the stylish “Ascending Truth”. He gives a nice piano workout on the rich aria of “Prelude” and is cool and calm with Watts on “The Muddy Chicago Blues” and assured as he locks arms with the tenor titan on the R&B -ish “Palladium”. Seales is working the room on this one." (George W. Harris, Jazz Weekly)
