Andy Adamson Quintet

Led by keyboardist Andy Adamson, a player on the Ann Arbor scene for the past 50 years, this local quintet plays all original jazz composed by Adamson from his three albums, Medicine Man (1991), A Cry for Peace (2015) and First Light (2017). Influenced by McCoy Tyner, Chick Corea, and Weather Report, Adamson’s compositions have traditional jazz roots and a fusion sound. The core of the band has been together for four years and regularly shares their joyful chemistry with a following at Zal Gaz Grotto. Fans of the Macpodz will recognize some favorite players. Welcome Dan Bennett on saxophones, Russ Hoff on trumpet, Brennan Andes on bass, Jon Taylor on drums, and Andy Adamson on keys to The Grove for a set of lovely afternoon jazz.
