About Adam Rogers Group
In the Netherlands, guitarist Adam Rogers is mainly known for
his role in the band of saxophonist Chris Potter. Rogers is,
however, one of the most versatile guitarists on the New York
scene. He is a multi-stylist who is not only to be seen in
straight-ahead jazz but also in experimental electric jazz (he has
worked with John Zorn, David Binney and Uri Caine, among others),
classical music and even in pop music with no less than Elvis
Costello. In 2002 he recorded his first album as a bandleader, Art
of the Invisible on, strangely enough, the Dutch jazz label Criss
Cross. This was followed by three more CDs. On the latest of these,
Time and the Infinite, Rogers explores well-known and timeless
melodies with his trio as well as performing several of his own
compositions. Rogers' style was recently aptly described by the New
York Times as "a turbocharged, sleekly designed, ultimately armored
brand of post-bop."
