ADAM'S CASTLE
Daylight
[self-released]
Album number three from this sans guitar instrumental trio is an epic, five track tour de force that balances power and nuance in a seamless manner. (Full disclosure: bassist Eric Adams is a colleague and dear friend.) With two tracks surpassing the 12-minute mark, consistency and invention are at a premium, and Adam’s Castle deliver in spades throughout. And in these dark times we could all use some daylight.
Definitely recommended for fans of Marco Benevento, Alan Parsons Project, Pink Floyd and Largo-era Brad Mehldau.
