(Tobias Böcker - Jazz Zeitung, Germany) Download: Press release (pdf)   Download: Press photos and cover (zip)   Read reviews Jason Seizer · Fair Way "... Because Seizer, this strict solitary person has been someone who has been worth listening to for years. He has a powerful, finely modulated tone on his tenor saxophone.
