Adrian Mears New Orleans Hardbop

[Durium]

ADRIAN MEARS NEW ORLEANS HARDBOP

Last year the second album of the Adrian Mears New Orleans Hardbop Quintet has been released. This album is titled Birdseye View. On the album Adrian Mears, trombone player, with Domenik Landolf tenor saxophone and bass clarinet, Peter Madsen piano, Stephan Kurmann bass and Mario Gonzi drums. I learned about Adrian Mears a few years ago, thanks to his first New Orleans Hardbop album, titled Jump On In which surprised me.

For most experienced jazz lovers, I think, this kind of unusual time-signatures make the music surprising and exciting.

Mears also played with the Vienna Art Orchestra, not only on trombone but he (Aussie!) added the didgeridoo as well - a great musician!
