Saxophonist and composer Adam Larson and his trio play jazz at Rudy's Jazz Room in The Gulch.
The Adam Larson Trio plays Rudy's Jazz Room on Friday, November 13, from 5:30 PM to 7:15 PM. The trio is led by saxophonist and composer Adam Larson, with Ethan Assad on bass and Samuel Robbs on drums.
Larson started writing as a teenager, when he was crafting contrafacts over some of his favorite jazz standards. Since then, he's written nearly 200 original compositions that lean on genre-blending sounds, motifs and ear-candy, drawing from R&B, rap, classical and jazz. The critics have taken notice: Downbeat called him a "prolific composer" with "compositional prowess for lyricism"; The New York Times praised his compositions as "thoughtful, with ample breathing room for any soloists"; and All About Jazz highlighted his "rhythmic sophistication and compositional cleverness" among young tenorists.
