Live From Yoshi'sDavid Haney (Piano), John Tchiacai (Saxophone), Adam Lane (Bass), Mat Marucci (Drums), Duck Baker (Guitar), Rob Scheps (Saxophone)Here is an historical release that has remained amazingly up-to-date. This is the remarkable David Haney's earliest recording to date. Recorded live in April 2000, it finds Mr. Haney in some pretty fast company. An informal/formal meeting, it's a wonderful example of creative minds creating while keeping their feet on the floor. A fun get-together and another distinct offering from David Haney's growing body of work.

BuffaloAdam Lane (Bass), Vinny Golia (Tenor Saxophone), Paul Smoker (Trumpet), Vijay Anderson (Drums)In February 2005, Adam Lane's Trio recorded two releases for the CIMP label (#s 325 and 335), collectively and individually still considered to be among the participants' finest work.
After those CIMP sessions, the trio concluded its tour with a performance in Buffalo, NY. At that time they were joined by Paul Smoker and here are the results. It doesn't get better than this.

In The Stillhouse (Live)The Slam Trio (Primary), Blaise Siwula (Saxophone), Adam Lane (Bass), Toshi Makihara (Drums)Recorded live at Portland, Maine's, Stillhouse, this captures, at the top of their form, three demanding improvisers who make up a dynamic trio uncompromisingly caught in three extended improvisations. The last show of the last night of the last day of a 3-day gig, this blow-out doesn't just add to the discography of the trio, it extended it in real and notable ways.

Foward EnergyJim Ryan (Saxophone), Alicia Mangan (Tenor Saxophone), Scott R. Looney (Piano), Adam Lane (Contrabass), Marshall Trammell (Drums)Jim Ryan is a creative and catalytic force in the San Francisco Bay Area. His music has a passion and, yes, a forward energy which would put artists a third his age to shame. Here he brings his energized group together to stretch out for 5 tracks on what is arguably his finest and fullest recorded display of his music. This is intense music and unrelenting interplay. It’s a lot of listening here—over 70 minutes that will take you hours to absorb and with wonderful features from all.

Tandem RiversBlaise Siwula (Alto Saxophone), Adam Lane (Bass)Adam Lane has been acclaimed for his large works for ensembles, but here he stretches out for 4 compositions in the company of saxman Blaise Siwula, one of the unique sax stylists in improvising music. Distinctive music, boldly presented.

Today many have come to expect brilliance from Mr. Lane, but, after listening to the first two Cadence recordings, obviously it was all in place by the end of the 1990s.

The MusicDavid Haney, Julian Priester, Adam LaneChances are you've never heard of David Haney but this follow-up to his much acclaimed duo with Julian Priester (Cadence Jazz Records 1179) should convince you that his is an original musical voice deserving of some attention.

Music Degree ZeroAdam Lane, Vinny Golia, Vijay AndersonHere is the mate to CIMP 325 and—lest there be any—all doubts will be squelched by the power and strength of this trio. The accolades were universal in their comments on the excitement and power this trio generated on the session's first release. This is its complement and is in every way equal to the first volume. Hot and intense, this is a Jazz power trio. Recorded Feb. 24&25, 2005.

Zero Degree MusicAdam Lane, Vinny Golia, Vijay AndersonAdam Lane has quickly established himself as a musician of depth and quality through a small but exceptional group of recordings. And here is another outstanding effort. This is not just a trio: it is three well integrated artists playing music that will satisfy the most demanding listeners. And for fans of Vinny Golia, this is arguably some of his most dynamic sax playing on record. Recorded February 24 & 25, 2005.

Isms OutBurton Greene, Roy Campbell, Adam Lane, Lou GrassiPlaying the music of Bill Evans, Jim Hall, Ali Akbar Khan, and its own originals, the Burton Greene-Roy Campbell 4tet goes pretty straight ahead but without compromise as four strong instrumental voices document their music following an East Coast tour. The expressions and themes are exceptional. It's been almost two decades since Burton recorded in quartet and over 30 years since he recorded with trumpet. This is Roy's first recording with Burton. Recorded June 29, 2004.

Paths to GloryKalaparush Maurice McIntyre, Adam Lane, Jesse Dulman, Ravish MominKalaparush & The Light have, over the past 3 years, put forth one of the most distinct group sounds of the new millennium. After 3 recordings solidifying that group sound, they join forces with the soulful power of Adam Lane's bass. This was such a success there was discussion about incorporating the bassist into the group whole. What a novel way to grow a group. Who knows? At this rate, 15 years from now it could be Kalaparush & The Light Big Band. If so, it all started here. Recorded March 4 & 5, 2004.

Warm, inventive, and personal, the 10 original tracks will transport you with their imaginative and fun excursions.

Fo(u)r Being(s)Adam Lane, John Tchicai, Paul Smoker, Barry AltschulThis is bassist Adam Lane's third release. His first 2 offered a thunderous view of his writing/arranging work for larger groups. Again, the listener is treated to Adam Lane's compositional abilities, and, in addition, is better able to hear his instrumental abilities, well-exposed over the 6 tracks. In this all-star company there's no place to hide and Adam proves he's up to the company he keeps.
