Adam Shulman

Adam Shulman has been a staple of the Bay Area jazz scene since he moved there in 2002.

He received his degree in classical performance under the tutelage of the Russian pianist Maria Ezerova.

He can also be seen as a sideman with countless bay area musicians and vocalists such as John Wittala, Vince Lateano, Kitty Margolis, Andrew Speight, Dayna Stephens, Ian Cary, and Mike Zilber.
