Adam Teixeira TEXTURE Album Launch this Friday in central London


I am excited to share an album launch concert for my debut album TEXTURE this Friday 28th April, 2017 at Iklectik art lab  in central London. 

 TEXTURE is an original drums/keyboards duo project of drummer, percussionist, composer Adam Teixeira featuring Chris Pruden on keyboards/synthesizers/piano. The hypnotic grooves, atmospheric synth landscapes and energetic improvisations explore a unique blend of folkloric rhythmic traditions stemming from African, Caribbean and Indian Classical roots with modern jazz and electronic influences. 


The evening will also feature an exclusive exhibition "Stamps" from artist, illustrator IAIA who designed the album artwork for TEXTURE.

Release Date: APRIL 28, 2017
UPC Code: 5268798552

This CD continues my mission to showcase the bassoon in a jazz setting featuring the instrument’s expressive and improvisation abilities. Although I have experimented with pickups and e ects I had special interest in preserving and exploiting the acoustic sound of the bassoon on this recording.

 Three of the selections are tributes to my parents (Harold & Kiki) whom both passed over the last 2 years. This CD pays homage to their support of my musical endeavors over the last 40 years.

 “Michael Rabinowitz merits a place in jazz history...he’s evolved into an astonishingly forceful presence” —Neil Tesser, Critic’s Choice, Chicago Reader

 Michael Rabinowitz – UNCHARTED WATERS:  Michael’s grand jazz bassoon playing on this vibrant CD release is joined by Nat Harris on guitar, Ruslan Khain on bass and Vince Ector doing drums, and let me tell you, folks – this SMOKES – it will be a true jazz adventure for listeners not accustomed to this often overlooked instrument (when it comes to jazz, anyway)… as I  listen to the intricate movements on “Harold’s Blues” (samples aren’t available yet; I’ll come back and link them in when I have them), I’m absolutely convinced that Michael is THE best jazz bassoon player on the planet (& I’ve listened to several of them), and each of the other players contribute to make this one of the most “alive” blues I’ve listened to (yet) in 2017!

 The closer, “Calypso Joe”, is an original creation by Michael, and is a superb lead-out for this very entertaining album; decidedly Latin beat, as you might imagine from the title, but the energy on this one paints the bassoon in a whole different light than you’ve ever heard before.  My personal favorite of the nine songs offered up for your listening enjoyment is actually the title track, “Uncharted Waters”, another Rabinowitz original that will (simply) stun your ears; the “flow” on this piece alone merits the MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED rating I’m giving it… “EQ” (energy quotient) rating is 4.98. - Rotcod Zzaj  Aka Dick Metcalf
