Adam Lajoie: fluid from the great lake


News:
11-10-2008:
Adam Lajoie is on MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/adamlajoie. I've been impressed with this guys playing for quite some time. What impresses me is his phrasing and improvising. But don't take my word for it:

Tom Quayle says:
I can't believe you're 15! I bet people say that to you all the time. Your phrasing and improvising skills (the two most important things to me) are outstanding! Keep going and you're gonna be a monster player!

Magnus Olsson says:
Adam has a pretty mature phrasing and tone for his age, and not a bumblebee overly distorted sound, which sets him a bit ahead of most other good young guys I hear (many older guys too), it is really cool to hear.


Here are some improvisations, from blues to fusion
Guthrie BT
Fusion
Funk Blues
Blues Jam
