Pete Jolly’s Seasons with The Wrecking Crew’s Chuck Berghofer

Organic, electric, freeform. Pete Jolly's Seasons is an unsung masterpiece of ensemble groove and stellar musicianship, equally unsurpassed and inspired in its quiet excellence. Recorded in 1970, Seasons never had significant commercial success upon its release but has since amassed a cult following, leading collectors to pay top dollar for copies of the rare record, whose tracks would eventually be sampled by Cypress Hill, Jay Dee, & Busta Rhymes. Legendary Bassist Chuck Berghofer (The Wrecking Crew) not only plays on Seasons but was also a close friend of Pete Jolly. In this episode of Light in the Attic's Liner Notes, we hear from Chuck Berghofer himself along with music journalist & liner notes writer Dave Segal (The Stranger) to discuss the making of this improvisational masterpiece and celebrate the visionary talent of West Coast jazz keyboardist Pete Jolly. Liner Notes is a co-production of Light in the Attic and Ruinous Media. Edited and Mixed by Chris Duryee and Joe Plummer.
