Lifetime of Jazz

Editorial Reviews
Minneapolis Star and Tribune
At an age when most men are kicking back in their easy chairs, restless Twin Cities jazz trumpet mainstay Gene Adams is continually learning new tricks. The grey-haired grampa goover makes his long overdue CD debut at age 60 with the sparkling "Lifetime of Jazz". It's and album that grabs your ear and tweaks it with sound collages, "acid" grooves,and echos of the late Miles Davis. . .
