| "The
cool intelligence of his improvising shows why Adams is
a class act who helps to extend the mainstream lineage
of Red Norvo-Lionel Hampton-Milt Jackson-Bobby Hutcherson-Gary
Burton (to name but five)." - David Lewis, Cadence

| "Ben
Adams is a young vibist who is continuing the noble tradition
of improvised music." - Dave Samuels |
| "As
you know, I was impressed with your first CD, The Figured
Wheel, which was a quartet recording; but that admirable
effort hardly prepared me for the precise execution and
original concept of the sextet. Both you as leader and
composer Todd Brindley Hershberger have demonstrated a
unique and effective approach to the challenge of incorporating
strings into an improvisational setting, and you have
done it within the context of an ensemble that is clearly
attuned to the dynamic and textural demands of the music.
There is also a consistency to both the writing and the
performance that create a unified work, something all
too rare among jazz bands that assemble an album's worth
of music." - Bob Blumenthal |
| "His
chops are soulful and his touch contains just the right
sensitivity. Good jazz vibist are rare, and Adams is a
real find." - Mark F. Turner, allaboutjazz.com |
