Rodrigo Amado has been very busy lately, with two releases on NoBusiness and this one on Clean Feed. Here's an excerpt from my review:

"Rodrigo Amado is a free jazz musician whose sound harks back to the classic saxophonists of the jazz tradition. His thick tone, bluesy in quieter moments and containing an R&B edge, brings to mind players like Gene Ammons and Lockjaw Davis. When things get heated, his tone takes on a grainy quality that reminds me of a young Gato Barbieri...

...Probably the most fascinating part of...the record overall, is the tension of the interaction between Amado and Mota, where Amado’s rational explorations of thematic elements are juxtaposed with Mota’s frenzied finger-picking and bursts of noise. You would expect the bassist and drummer of the RED Trio to be hand-in-glove, and they are, but this is Amado’s and Mota’s show."

All three discs are fantastic. This and the live date on NoBusiness are among my favorite releases this year.

I like Amado. I'm gonna pickup a couple of these for sure. Searching for Adam on not two is one of the strongest recordings I've bought over the past few years.

Yes, Searching for Adam is great.
