Jolly, Pete
Seasons (amber)
First ever vinyl reissue of this rare masterpiece, originally released on A&M in 1970. Includes new liner notes by Dave Segal interviewing Herb Albert and Chuck Berghofer. Featuring session heavyweights Chuck Berghofer (bass), John Pisano (guitar), Milt Holland (percussion), Paul Humphrey (drums), Emil Richards (percussion) and Herb Albert (producer). Sampled by Cypress Hill, Jay Dee and Busta Rhymes. Organic, electric, freeform. Pete Jolly's 'Seasons' is comprised of melodies and textures composed live and without pretense - its grooves contain a complete and divine listening experience that surpasses all others of the era in which it was originally released, coming as close to transcendent musical meditation incarnate as one could possibly imagine. 'Seasons' is an unsung masterpiece of ensemble groove and stellar musicianship, equally unsurpassed and inspired in its quiet excellence. While 'Seasons' never had significant commercial success upon its release, it has since amassed a cult following, leading collectors to pay top dollar for copies of the rare record. Out of print since 1971, it has only been reissued once on CD. Comes on clear amber wax.
