Criss Cross Jazz 1263 CD

Adam Rogers

Apparitions

On Apparitions, for the third time, guitarist Adam Rogers convenes band mates Ed Simon (piano), Scott Colley (bass) and Clarence Penn (drums), who appear on his well-received label debut, Art Of The Invisible (Criss 1223) and Allegory (Criss 1242).
From the latter date, tenor saxophonist Chris Potter, a Criss Cross regular, returns as well.
The 8 originals, performed in trio, quartet and quintet configurations, span the gamut from ballad to burnout, and all members play with appropriate nuance and fire. The date will burnish Rogers' reputation as one of the jazz world's freshest voices
