”Being the music director at my station, I listen to tons of new music every week. And when I first listened to The Chauffeur, my ears perked up instantly... in a way it hadn't done in a long time. Their latest album Blue Mud does not disappoint either. The Adam Bodine Trio has a sound that is new, fresh, and classic all at the same time. Their music is exciting! Just when you think you know where they're going with a melody, they take it somewhere that makes you say... “now that is what jazz is all about!””
Nicole “Swingin'” Sweeney, Music Director 91.9 FM WCLK Atlanta
”~~~~ The AB3 is some of the best sonic gumbo to which I've listened ~~ Sophisticated & for The Folks ~~ Chocked full of soundz of surprize ~~ Their music hits its stride & swings full~tilt boogie ~~ This 3~some has fun, & U will as swell. ~~~~”
Peter Poses (aka djSOS), Associate Editor Rocky Mountain Jazz, Host of “OverNight Jazz: The Soundz Of Surprize“ 88.9 FM KRFC Fort Collins
”Bodine has a truly original and highly humorous compositional style. It’s really hard to describe it, other than to say he likes to constantly keep things off kilter. As a pianist Adam gets his thoughts out in a fresh and light manner. He is fleet of finger when needed and obviously has command of many different jazz performance styles.”
