Caught in concert at Blue Llama Records, drummer Adonis Rose creates a classic sounding post bop team with a front line of Tia Fuller/ss-as, Maurice Brown/tp, Miki Hayama/p Jasen Weaver/b and guest vocalist Sasha Masakowski for a mix of originals and fun standards. Rose flexes his muscles and lets everyone else join in on the groove of Freddie Hubbard’s “Keep Your Soul Together” with Brown searing on some nice Hub tones and Fuller poignant on the alto sax over Hayama’s electric keys. The dreamy “Piece of Mind” has a Brown in a sweeter tone, and Rose supplying a nifty backbeat, while the team is ethereal on mood for backing Masakowski on a lovely “Entropy”. She gives extra salty caramel’d soul to “Sunny Side of The Street” and goes hip hoppy with the trumpeter on the festive “Maurice’s Rap”. Everyone joins in on the 14 minute party of “Blue Llama Jam” with Rose keeping the stallions reigned in just enough to keep the wagon train from toppling over. Purebreds at play. https://www.jazzweekly.com/2020/10/adonis-rose-piece-of-mind/
