Review: Trumpeter Seguin’s latest disc is cinematic, direct, and dynamic. It encourages an openness to others. Séguin has gathered a group of experienced, like-minded musicians, each with a strong voice to add to the musical dialogue. Together, they bring a renewed, free, personal, and uniquely emotional approach to the storied genre.
