Dan Adler

“Dan Adler may not be as well known as some, but his extraordinary playing on this new CD is sure to change that. Besides Dan’s glittering tone and precision, there are some wonderful solos and great rapport and interplay with the other members of this top-notch group: Grant Stewart, Richard Samuels, Dmitri Kolesnik and Phil Stewart.

The four standards are all well known, and Dan’s arrangements treat them with high regard. The six originals are very inventive, and the title track is a clever take on 'All The Things You Are.' Dan Adler shows off his considerable technique with much taste and professionalism

”I love Dan Adler’s new CD. He has such a nice sound combined with a precise time feel and killer lines. It’s all there, all the right stuff. I like the little twists in the arrangements, like the odd chords floating around on 'Star Eyes' and the time modulations on 'You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To.' Super Cool! I also love the catchy originals, especially the title track. And Grant Stewart’s playing is so beautiful--a real classic improviser. There is a lot of great music and great playing on this CD by all involved. My hat’s off to Dan and the group.” -- Peter Sprague
