Adam Unsworth: Excerpt This!

by Ken Kase
June 3, 2006

As its title suggests, Excerpt This! is an open challenge to anyone who might not think of the French horn as the optimal instrument for a jazz soloist like Adam Unsworth. Or maybe it represents a collision of the jazz and classical worlds, and an admonition to would-be detractors who seek to pigeonhole this music. Unsworth's debut recording does what the best jazz should do by asking questions, shunning orthodoxy and predictability--and having a few laughs along the way.
