Is there anyone better than adam rogers these days? Listen to the precision that he plays with. Not just his solos but his rhythm playing. Such pocket!

This is just excellent.

then there's this ridiculous example with Peter Farrell and Adam Rogers
Time to hit the woodshed!!!!

My new mantra is "find the clave in everything." The pulse within the beat...or something like that.

The new Dice cd is incredible! I still have recorded sets from him playing with michael brecker, which was the first time i heard him play! There are a couple of videos around of him playing classical as well, he kills there too
-
i'd love to hear those recorded sets with brecker!
-
I got to see Adam years ago when he was in John Patitucci's trio such an amazing musician. The only bad thing was that was when Adam was in to that really dark bassy sound and it got muddy sounding.
Adam has a tutor video on odd note grouping

Thanks Doc.
P.S.
I also bought the dice record the day it was available. Amazing playing. Definitely an ode to Jimi / Stevie and there is some beatles in there too!
The difference is that Adam's time is so ridiculously locked in!
My son recently saw the dice band at 55bar in NYC. He said it was the loudest concert he'd ever heard! He's not a gear head but from the description it sounded like a pair of twin reverbs!

They were minidisc recordings, i need to see if these disks still work, havent listened to them for a while now! I have so much stuff from my berklee days, all these recitals from people playing there, lage lund, lionel lueke, lots of great sax and rhythm players as well. And most of these guys were on their "chops" period then, younger, lacking maybe the maturity that came after, but if you enjoy that particular kind of playing, which i do, they were burning!

I was just listening to Adam's incredible solo on "Long Ago And Far Away" from "Art Of The Invisible" this morning. I think this is one of my favorite jazz guitar solos ever. It's incredibly well constructed, and forms a complete, logical statement and has a real "arc" to it. There's several points which seem like the peak, in terms of dynamics and excitement, and then in the next chorus he takes it even further! I don't think I'll ever get sick of listening to this one. The whole record is great, but this particular solo is a favorite of mine.

Adam is definitely one of the best jazz guitarists in history. There are a lot of great jazz improvisers on guitar but he can do it all from rhythm to solos and he plays all styles too. I've heard him do heavy metal stuff, hendrix, classical, etc.
It's erie hearing Jimi done with polyrhythms and such incredibly locked in time.
-
great facility, but sounds too mechanical. no soul in it.
KIDDING

Thanks for these clips. I'd heard him at the 55bar years ago in a context I didn't like him as much in so I'd sort of written him off. Seems I'd been missing something...
-
Here's some Adam Rogers with Michael Brecker:

I have the bootleg of Brecker/Rogers/Larry Goldings/Clarence Penn at Ronnie Scott's, London in 2000 that's been doing the rounds for years.
Got to see him this exact day last year at the 55 Bar with David Binney. For the first half of the set, they played bop and standards from the 'R&R' album, with Rogers on his 335. For the second half of the set, he strapped on an SG (with paperclips and lolipop sticks in the strings!), cranked the amp and reverb and off they went into an incredible long space-funk jam.
His videos for mymusicmasterclass.com are great.

I love the two that I bought today. I've already learned a ton. Originally Posted by David B

Adam is one of those players that I enjoy as a contributing sideman as much as with his own groups. He and fellow band mates in Chris Potter Underground are natural born killers, and.....no bassist.
-
I like him
-
I must dig out that transcription of him I did

Adam and Uffe Steen get such a great sound.

Adam must have got a kick out of being included in this recently painted mural dedicated to John Coltrane who would have celebrated his birthday today (it's mine too, as it happens). AR was part of a commemorative project along with Ravi Coltrane and Matthew Garrison:

that's sweet. Is adam from philly? And that birthdate is cool, mine is on jimi's birthday which is also cool but yours is better. Originally Posted by PMB

Strangely enough, my daughter was born on July 17, the day Coltrane died. There seems to be a disproportionate number of musicians that share my birthday, including Ray Charles, Roy Buchanan and Bruce Springsteen. I wouldn't knock back Jimi though!Last edited by PMB; 09-23-2017 at 06:45 PM.
