Description
SteepleChase LookOut label presents two New York based young elite instrumentalists Nicki Adams (piano) and Michael Eaton (saxophone).
They both share neo-classism in jazz as their formative background but they transcend beyond the categorization to something far more original and multifaceted. The album 'Paraphrase' is a formidable presentation at this junction of time of how jazz has developed itself through its rich and diverse history.
Nicki Adams (b. 1988) is a New York-based composer and pianist. He has worked with renowned artists including Billy Hart and Francisco Mela and appeared on NPR's Soundcheck and Jazz at Lincoln Center's Rose Theatre. Nicki plays with many groups including his own band. His works have appeared in film and radio throughout the world. Michael Eaton (b. 1981) is a Brooklyn, NY based saxophonist, composer, and educator active in contemporary jazz and free improvisation. He embraces a progressive and holistic vision of jazz, cognizant of the music's rich history, while he reaches for a personal outlook with an eye towards future possibilities.
