About Me

"Infotation" original music in trio format is Adkins' first solo album issued on indie Semblance_records. The work showcases the saxophone, the instrumentation allows an openness of form and harmony that Ian Froman and John Hebert exploit with energy and taste. The trio avoids technical showpiecing, exploring instead the pairing of subtle musical nuances. The form of "Infotation" will provide bearings for the listener who wishes to take part in the highly original and shifting expressions of command and group dynamics that we call improvisation. Among jazz enthusiasts, "Infotation" will be welcome for the fresh impulses it brings to the fore.
