Saxophonist-composer Adam Larson began playing saxophone at the age of 11. Described by critic Howard Reich of the Chicago Tribune as "a player for whom the word 'prodigious' was coined", and by Peter Hum of the Ottaw Citizen as "a saxophonist who brings Donny McCaslin and Mark Turner to mind", Larson has garnered numerous awards. As the leader of his own quintet, Larson recently released his debut album "Simple Beauty". The quintet has performed at the Jazz Gallery, the Blue Note, Smalls, Cornelia St Café, the Kitano, JALC, and serveral others. 

Having been fortunate to have worked with many musicians over the past years, Larson's quintet includes those deeply invested in the music and his vision: pianist Can Olgun, bassist Chris Talio, drummer Jason Burger, and guitarist Nils Weinhold. "I want my music to connect with as many people as I can. I’m hopeful that the music on this album will have a little something for everyone."
