“Not only does Adam possess the technical skill and fluidity of a conservatory-trained pianist, but he also has a much rarer skill: he is a creative and unique voice.” —Arturo O Farrill

Influenced by the powerhouse jazz-driven sounds of Medeski, Martin & Wood as well as by rock and classical music the Trio succeeds in establishing a unique sound and artistic personality.

Corea, Gomez & Motian -][- Further Explorations -(MP3)- [Concord Jazz, 2012]

Produced by Corea, Further Explorations was recorded May 4-17, 2010, live at the Blue Note in New York City. (2011 marks the 50th anniversary of the release of Evans’ original Explorations LP with Motian and bassist Scott LaFaro on the Riverside label.) In preparation, Corea, Gomez and Motian examined the entire Bill Evans discography. Rather than approach the music as a tribute, his material provides more of a template. Each musician also contributes original material. The results are inspired, as this elevated piano trio plays with near-telepathic empathy and a remarkable blend of ingenuity and emotional depth.
