ADAM
Guitar, Mandolin, Banjo
Fretted string wiz Adam Larrabee has performed with many jazz greats including Dave Holland, Jimmy Heath, Larry Goldings, Barry Harris and Hilton Ruiz, as well as classical mandolin virtuoso Evan Marshall and banjo phenomenom Bela Fleck. His primary touring jazz group "The Dave Zoffer/Adam Larrabee Duo" has been called "reminiscent of the masterful Bill Evans &Jim Hall duets in its level of musicianship and interplay" by jazz percussion guru Bob Moses, and their album of original "chamber-jazz", "Courage in Closeness: Live in Boston", was voted one of the year's top-ten albums in 2000 by the Tucson Citizen. During his countless recordings as a sideman, he has recorded pop music with the likes of Bruce Hornsby on Hornsby's 1997 "Spirit Trail". In the eclectic, award-winning quartet "Andromeda" he plays Eastern European and tango influenced chamber-jazz on guitar, banjo and mandolin. In 2003 this group was chosen to play for the American Repertory Theater's adaptation of the traditional Chinese opera "Snow in June" featuring the music of Berkley based composer Paul Dresser. In the "Enigmatica" Classical mandolin Septet he plays the mandocello and arranges works of Bach and Shostakovich as well as traditional Brazilian "choro" pieces . "Adam's talent's boggle the mind in their range" jazz trumpet player Peter Kenagy. "Fat tone and killer chops ... a feel that is truly amazing" - John Heidt, Vintage Guitar magazine .
