O’s Notes: Adam plays the ‘big daddy’ baritone saxophone. His tone is warm and melodic, well suited for the melodies. This is not typically attempted with this sax but Schroeder pulls it off. He leads a band that includes Jeff Hamilton (d), Anthony Wilson (g) and John Clayton (b), all seasoned jazz artists that help Adam deliver a powerful message on Let’s. We liked “Just Clap Your Hands”, the title track and “Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams” in a balanced session that gets better with each track!
