Music reviews of ApparitionsMusic Review: Adam Rogers a great guitar voice & a great album
Man Adam Rogers what a fantastic new voice on the jazz scene compositionally & instrumentally. I say new even though adam has been on the scene for quite along time recording wih the cream of the crop names in jazz like John Pattituci and Chris Potter to name only a couple bigger names. The band here is a fine quartet of some of the top guys in the field of jazz. Chris Potter in my opinion is one of the top men on saxophone here he keeps it straight ahead postbop, nothing wrong with that. Potter is in fine form throughout this album responding to the complex twists & turns of Rogers compositions. On bass & drums is the much underrated Scott Colley & Clarence Penn. This fine groove team lays down a fat tasteful groove for Adam & company to blow over, team work is the word for these two fine rhythm mates. Scott & Clarence have been the rhythm section along with the young panama pianist Edward Simon on the majority of Adam Rogers Criss Cross label albums & just listen and you'll hear the reason why. They're great in a word. The compositions are all written by Rogers and are a imaginative blend of bop and modern jazz writing like Dave Holland or Steve Coleman but with more emphasis on swing from the rhythm section in the traditional sense. Rogers goes for a jim hall like sound with his hollow body guitars nothing like the sound he gets out of his fender telecaster in the Chris Potter Underground band. If your looking for that side of Rogers you probably won't find it here, these Criss Cross dates are about expanding on a much more traditional jazz guitar concept started by the past masters like Jim Hall, Kenny Burrell and Joe Pass. You also won't find any electric piano or bass or guitar effects for that matter, the whole set is all 100% acoustic jazz. So if thats your thing and you have had a taste of Adam Rogers talent for composing & playing the guitar then I think you'll get much enjoyment out of this. I'll say if you came to discover rogers through Chris Potters Underground albums like Follow The Red Line then this may not be what your into, this is beautiful hard core acoustic jazz with a capital J. Buy It! Support a great artist.
