Nickie Adams

• CD JEWEL CASE FORMAT

Adams/Eaton duo’s new album stays in “Third Stream”, a term invented by Gunther Schuller as a way to create a new genre by bringing jazz and European classical music together.

Eaton points, “We think of ourselves as jazz musicians with some classical training, but our cultural milieu was one where jazz had become a global music.”

The debut album Paraphrase prompted NYCJR’s Dan Bilawsky to remark, “the tracks) illuminate the duo’s take on jazz history and where things might be headed next.”
