Sincerity. That’s number one on the list of Saxophonist Jason Seizer’s musical credos. Seizer’s lean, sharply contoured tone is elastic and colorfully textured. A mix of introspection and presence is intrinsic to his style. His musical vision is clear, to the point: “Give the music more than one listen. There are always new things to discover. Sound, tone is the most important thing—it defines you, it’s your individual voice. Technique is important, but you have to be careful about showing off. It’s about expressing yourself, what you have to say as a musician and a human being. Many times, less is more.”
