Adam Klipple Quintet
About
Whether he’s on piano, keyboard or Hammond B3 organ, Adam Klipple brings an abundance of soul to his cogent and witty improvisations. An expert arranger, he knows just how much information to supply to his collaborators, providing direction while leaving plenty of space for them to contribute their own ideas. Considering the prodigious crew he brings to the Sound Room, it will be quite a swaggering conversation. Featuring a powerhouse front line with alto saxophonist Jesse Levit, who cut his teeth at the Oaktown Jazz Workshops, and trombonist Joel Behrman, the quintet pivots on the brilliant guitarist Kai Lyons and the inventive drum work of Scott Amendola, while Klipple supplies the basslines on the B3. -Andrew Gilbert; East Bay Express
