KJB

KJB is a piano trio in the now classic Bill Evans vein, where they are truly more a trio than a piano trio. Emphasis is on the group sound. Seager has a fine, clear articulation on the keyboard, and he loves stating the melody simply and then varying it as it grows. Bassist John Lockwood is a highlight here. He has a great melodic sense, and his solos frequently stand out, yet he is also adept at disappearing into the trio's sound when it is not his turn to shine. Drummer Kazumi Ikenaga can swing, and he has got a light touch favoring the high end of his kit; plus he is good with brushes. Those gentle skills make his work suit this trio format perfectly. from http://www.bertseager.com
