For all Jazz aficionados:

Dwayne Adell is one of the great pianists in Jazz. He will be playing at Blues Alley this Monday, August 6 2012 (8pm and 10pm sets). Dwayne Adell’s vibrant expression
and sensational dexterity of play offers one of the most sincere messages in Jazz music today. Featured in the new documentary Oxygen for the Ears: Living Jazz, Dwayne Adell, is an artist to be heard. What is striking is that this musician-composer- bandleader plays entirely by ear, without reading a note of music. The piano soloist on Quincy Jones’ Grammy Award winning record Handel’s
Messiah: a Soulful Celebration, Dwayne Adell has now emerged as an artist on his own footing. He has received accolades from jazz greats such as Herbie Hancock and has wowed fans and musicians alike with his exceptional listening ability. Interviewed recently on WPFW’s Late Night Jazz with Luke Stewart, Dwayne Adell’s aired original composition is one of the finest examples of piano virtuosity and celebration of the music’s liberation.
