The tunes themselves were written over time from  the spring of 1994 to the spring of 1997. The kitchen and train were, of course, recorded  at separate times and places. <\/p>\n<p>  Uncle Art began as a studio project initiated by David Arthur Seyboldt who says that Uncle  Art will be &#8220;complete when the last song is heard by the last person for the last  time.&#8221; The personalized copy we recieved for review included a hand stamped cover and  a serial number. The packaging alone is worth the price of admission.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/storypix\/uncleart.jpg\" width=\"124\" height=\"86\" alt=\"uncleart.jpg (5462 bytes)\" align=\"left\"\/>For more than three years David Seyboldt accumulated music with the intention  of someday releasing it to family, friends, acquaintances, and the public at large.  Seyboldt then called in a group of Chicago musicians, Bill Boris (Guitar), Peter Ballin  (Woodwinds) and Rafe Bradford (Basses), to enhance the Uncle Art project. The result is an  interesting, uptempo jazz mix that holds your interest.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Verdana\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\">Unfortunately, the only place to get a copy  is at one or two Chicago-area record shops or directly through Beezwax Enterprises, and  the price ($15.80) is not bargain basement. But&#8230; each copy is hand stamped and  personalized. The big question&#8230;is it worth it? We would say yes. Musically, Uncle Art is  a cut above your average local do-it-yourself-album.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Verdana\" color=\"#000000\" size=\"1\"> For more information contact BeezWax  Enterprises, Box 4816, Elkhart, IN 46514-0816.<\/p>\n<p><font size=\"+1\"\/><\/font><\/p>\n<p><center>    Visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/songs.com\/uncleart\" target=\"_blank\">Uncle Art Website<\/a>.<\/center>                  <center>      <?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/center><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uncle ArtTransmongrified Officially released on October 31, 1997, Uncle Art,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3713","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3713"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3713\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
