Seconds is a live 2-CD set by saxophonist Tim Berne's Bloodcount which was recorded in 1997 and packaged along with a documentary DVD which was recorded in 1994 and released on Berne's Screwgun label.[1]

Reception

Writing for All About Jazz, John Kelman stated "With two CDs of largely unheard Bloodcount material and a DVD that's as engaging as it is enlightening, Seconds is a valuable addition to the Bloodcount discography, further proof of just how important that group was for everyone involved".[2] On the same site Sean Patrick Fitzell observed "Hardly leftovers, the package boasts previously unavailable original compositions and the type of bristling performances that forged the band's reputation".[3]
