Adam Schroeder
Born:
Baritone saxophonist Adam Schroeder is the first call for a growing multitude of musical contexts. He has firmly established his influential voice as a major force within the global jazz community being recognized as a “Rising Star” on the Baritone Saxophone in Down Beat Magazine’s 59th, 63rd, 64th, 65th, 66th, 67th, 70th, 71st and 72nd Annual Critic’s Poll as well as in the 76th, 79th, 80th, 82nd and 84th Annual Reader’s Poll and the JazzEd Magazine 2014 Readers Poll. Schroeder is known equally for his hard-driving muscular swing, ferocious be-bopping, meticulous musicianship and leadership as well as his exquisite sound. His style has been described as possessing soul a la Carney, intricate lines like those of Chaloff and Adams, the in-the-pocket swing of Mulligan and the hard-driving take-no-prisoners approach of Smulyan. This description of Schroeder’s approach is a concise ‘short list’ of the baritone saxophone lineage where Schroeder’s name has now been cemented for, he is truly a master of the most unwieldy of traditional jazz instruments. Recently John Beasley’s MONK’estra, one of the many large ensembles Adam is a core and featured member of, was up for their 7th and 8th Grammy nominations. These nominations resulted in a 2021 Grammy Win for this ensemble. Since Schroeder’s appointment at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, he has contributed to 11 Grammy nominated projects.
Lolly Allen: Coming Home
by Jack Bowers
There was a time, and it wasn't that long ago, when women in jazz—apart from singers and the occasional pianist—were seen by many observers as unsolicited interlopers whose impact in what was essentially a male bastion could be no more than minimal at best. Needless to say that is no longer the case, as women's voices ...
Nichols, Newk with Kenny/Elmo, Prez & More
by Marc Cohn
We're rotating through our 2019 centenarians--this week Herbie Nichols with tracks from his first Blue Note LP. Our artist log tells me it's time for another deep dive into the vault, including another piano faceoff (because you loved the last one): this time Fats Waller versus Teddy Wilson & Art Tatum. There's more Newk too, recordings ...

Bob Mintzer: All L.A. Band
by Angelo Leonardi
Ascoltando questo nuovo, scintillante, album orchestrale di Bob Mintzer mi chiedevo perchè si parli così poco di questo sassofonista e bandleader ormai 64enne. Dai primi anni ottanta ha diretto formidabili big band--incidendo una ventina di album -nel solco della tradizione mainstream che va da Count Basie a Thad Jones. In veste di autore ha scritto oltre ...

Bob Mintzer: All L.A. Band
by Jack Bowers
Even though saxophonist Bob Mintzer's name rests alone atop the marquee, the All L.A. Band is actually a mutual collaboration with acclaimed drummer Peter Erskine, one of Mintzer's colleagues in the Jazz Studies department at the University of Southern California. Besides occupying the drum chair, Erskine produced the album, while Mintzer composed and arranged its ten ...
