With the fall season’s upcoming releases looking quite promising, saxophonist Ben Wendel’s new album, The Seasons, is definitely one of the albums we are most highly anticipating around here. Based on the video series he put together back in 2015 involving duet compositions with assorted musicians, the project has now evolved to include a full band (many of whom were in said video series) to more fully flesh out Wendel’s songs and create the brilliance we know from that circular breathing soul. Check out the video for “July” featuring Gilad Hekselman on guitar, Aaron Parks on piano, Matt Brewer on bass, and Eric Harland on drums after the jump.
