Music reviews of Art of the Invisible

Music Review: adam rogers debut recording
Rating: 3 Stars

All but one tune on this disc is an original. The original numbers gives us an opportunity to really see into the mind of the musician. While the influence of classical music is noticeable on some cuts at least two of Rogers' tunes are a little too similar to Kurt Rosenwinkel, probably the most distinctive jazz guitarist on the planet right now.

Lastly, a horn on a few cuts would've been a nice change as Rogers' slightly mid-rangey Hall/Metheny tone wears thin after two selections. But, be that as it may,listen to the ideas he displays while playing at warp speed on Long Ago And Far Away. It's worth the price of the CD alone. Scott Colley sounds good (although a little under recorded) as does Ed Simon. Drummer Clarence Penn is tremendous and constantly leaves one smiling. Listen to the way he builds behind each soloist. I give this 3 1/2 but am eagerly waiting for Adam's second disc.
