Jeffrey
Seeman grew up listening to the greats and cut his teeth working at the Ludlow
Garage, a literal garage turned performance hall. As part of the Crew, his
passion for music became ingrained and he has been playing ever since. A part
of the band Wheels, Seeman's desire to play was put to the test as life took
him away from his dream, only to bring it back again later in life. Seeman
began to make videos of his work and shared them with the legendary Will
Ackerman, who suggested they make an album. Everything
In Between is the result of that effort.
The
first song on the album is "Five Days Old," a strumming piece
composed of layers that float over one another. Delicate percussion,
multi-instrumentation and a solid guitar base provide a strong foundation for
this song as it drifts and glides through every well-crafted note.
"Let's Go" is a buoyant journey filled with
jazzy elements, horn, percussion and of course a very spirited guitar. This
piece is a crawfish boil in full rapture mode. Joyful gatherings of friends and
family captured in a moment frozen in time, filled with all the bumps and dips
that make up our lives.
"Point
Well Taken" is a plucky piece with earthy movements, fingers sliding
across strings in perfect style. A jazzy horn accompaniment joins the fray,
bringing the song to a bit of a climb. Pick after pick and slide after slide,
this strident composition is a thought provoking melody. It is the last song on
the album and may just influence you to hit the play button one more time.
Jeffrey Seeman has spent most of his life in pursuit of
music, either by working in a club or by picking up his own guitar. Working
with Will Ackerman of Imaginary Road Studios, this album is a realization of a
dream. When the album came out, Ludlow Garage opened back up once more allowing
Seeman to trace back the roots of his musical journey. Some places are more
than a beginning or and an end. They are an impetus for a life well lived, and
each track on Everything In Between gives
a little window into the life of a man who finds joy in the simple things. This
album is a great listen and I highly recommend it.
