pianist / composer

Originally from the Chicagoland area, Bodine currently resides in beautiful Boulder County, Colorado, USA. His lifelong existence as a musician is accented by diversity, discipline, growth, and joy. Classically trained and eccentrically groomed, Adam is comfortable considering himself a jazz musician, yet he doesn't limit himself to just jazz.

For the most part, the instrumentation of Adam's Trio is that of a traditional acoustic jazz piano trio format, which is complimented by upright bass and drums. All sidemen of the group are outstanding musicians.

Bassist Kalin Capra has been a sturdy force in Bodine's band and has played on all three studio albums, as well as every Trio gig thus far.

On drums, Adam's Trio features a rotation of several different players. Peter Knudson can be heard on the most recently released studio album Up 'N Hear. Luke Emig played on the first two studio albums The Chauffeur and Blue Mud. Andrew Lacy performed with The Trio at The 2011 Five Points Jazz Festival, as well as live on Jazz89 KUVO during the 2011 Colorado Gives Day charity extravaganza. He'll also be playing with The Trio for their upcoming gig at Denver's City Park.

Other drummers who participate and have participated in The Adam Bodine Trio that deserve praiseworthy recognition include: Johnny Schmidt, Mark Emmons, Xay Alejandro Rios, Ika Pekelo, Kasey Phillips, Eric Imbrosciano, Jeremy Salken and Shilo Stroman.

 

Adam Bodine began playing music with his Trio in and around The Mile High City of Denver, Colorado back in late 2008. In the last three years, he has self-recorded and independently released three full-length original studio albums by his band: The Chauffeur (2009), Blue Mud (2010), and Up 'N Hear (2011). Recipients of positive acclaim locally, nationally and internationally, they have been acquired by fans and various distributive entities across North America, throughout Europe, as well as Japan. Even more, tracks from these recordings continue to receive steady airplay on terrestrial and satellite radio stations worldwide.

    

With that, performing live in front of a discernible audience finds The Adam Bodine Trio amplifying its artistry to spectacular dimensions. Their shows radiate a playful presence and feature stellar musicianship, powerful dynamism, spirited improvisation and venturesome interplay. Always fresh and thoughtful in its song selection, every Adam Bodine Trio gig stages a production unto itself.

Making an imprint on Colorado's music community, Bodine's band has played Denver's Five Points Jazz Festival, as well as live in the studio and over the radio airwaves of Jazz89 KUVO. And coming up this year on Sunday, June 3rd, they'll be kicking off the City Park Jazz's Summer Concert Series at Denver's City Park. Adam's Trio also performs frequently at the Rocky Mountain region's premier jazz club Dazzle.

    

At Dazzle, The Adam Bodine Trio's well-received late-night sets have had the honor of sharing the marquee in support of several distinguished bands and musicians including The Bad Plus (Ethan Iverson, Dave King, and Reid Anderson), Christian McBride, Eddie Gomez, Charlie Hunter, Ron Miles, Robert Glasper, Tia Fuller, Erik Deustch, Rudy Royston, Ed Soph, Stefan Karlsson, Andy Nevala, Rob Mullins, Nelson Rangell, Jeff Jenkins and Ken Walker.
