Adam Dereli

The new album opens with a mesmerizing instrumental of “Legacy.” Once Adam urges the crowd to, “Come rock with us,” a soft drumbeat, dreamy keys, and captivating horns paint the soundscape. On “Biggest, Greatest Thing” (feat. Mary Mary),” Mary Mary unleashes soaring vocals above head-nodding piano and lively trumpet. Among many highlights, he links up with Leslie Odom Jr. on a hypnotic cover of Nat King Cole’s “Smile.” Between melancholic strings and piano, Leslie showcases his skyscraper-reaching vocal skills. Then, there’s “Trust Me (Interlude),” which teems with energy through Robert Glapser’s mesmerizing piano performance. Halfway through the seven minute tune, his piano playing is met with a jazzy drumbeat before fading into the distance. Adam joins forces with DIXSON on “Just the Two of Us / Do For Love.”Between upbeat horns and bongos, DIXSON unleashes a sizzling cover of the Bill Withers classic while an exciting keyboard breakdown closes out the song.

Adam Liaw embarks upon his adventure across China, beginning in his mum's hometown of Beijing, he then travels through the provinces that gave birth to the eight great regional cuisines of China.

Juste avant leur séparation il y a quelques mois, Les esprits était le trio le plus demandé en France et en Europe, avec 3 musiciens les plus talentueux de la jeune génération. Adam Laloum au piano, Victor Julien-Laferrière au violoncelle et Mi-sa Yang au violon. Pour ce dernier album témoignage, ils y ont gravé Schubert avec des interprétations mémorables, répertoire ultime pour ce registre, qui deviendra sans aucun doute une référence dans le genre.

Although Adam Karch is from Montreal, his music embodies the spirit of Americana like a scenic ride across the country. He plays a hybrid acoustic blues that consists of precise fingerpicking that recalls players such as Chet Atkins and Kelly Joe Phelps, along with an innovative percussive technique that is thoroughly modern, while somehow primal and anchored in tradition.
