Review by Ken Dryden
Adam Rogers' third Criss Cross CD as a leader focuses exclusively on his challenging original works. Joining the guitarist are four superb musicians: tenor saxophonist Chris Potter, pianist Edward Simon, bassist Scott Colley, and drummer Clarence Penn. The many twists within the opener, "Labyrinth," are finessed with ease by the group, while Rogers adds a bit of distortion to his instrument for the intense "Tyranny of Fixed Numbers." The extended workout of "The Maya" is built upon an ostinato bass pattern, with Rogers and Potter playing in unison until the piece opens up and the bassist's role is freed; then the leader works his magic with an inventive solo. "Apparitions" is truly a haunting melody as Rogers and Potter introduce the theme, with Penn gradually adding background percussion. The finale, "Moment in Time," is an intriguing low-key ballad, omitting the piano and tenor sax, while Colley (a veteran of guitarist Jim Hall's trio) responds to the stripped-down setting with some of his best work of the session. Highly recommended.

On Apparitions, for the third time, guitarist Adam Rogers convenes band mates Ed Simon (piano), Scott Colley (bass) and Clarence Penn (drums), who appear on his well-received label debut, Art Of The Invisible (Criss 1223) and Allegory (Criss 1242).
From the latter date, tenor saxophonist Chris Potter, a Criss Cross regular, returns as well.
The 8 originals, performed in trio, quartet and quintet configurations, span the gamut from ballad to burnout, and all members play with appropriate nuance and fire. The date will burnish Rogers' reputation as one of the jazz world's freshest voices

Reseña de Ken Dryden
El tercer CD de Criss Cross de Adam Rogers como líder se centra exclusivamente en sus desafiantes obras originales. Acompañan al guitarrista cuatro magníficos músicos: el saxofonista tenor Chris Potter, el pianista Edward Simon, el bajista Scott Colley y el batería Clarence Penn. Los numerosos giros del primer tema, "Labyrinth", son afinados con facilidad por el grupo, mientras que Rogers añade un poco de distorsión a su instrumento en la intensa "Tyranny of Fixed Numbers". El extenso ejercicio de "The Maya" se construye sobre un patrón de bajo ostinato, con Rogers y Potter tocando al unísono hasta que la pieza se abre y el papel del bajista se libera; entonces el líder hace su magia con un solo inventivo. "Apparitions" es realmente una melodía inquietante mientras Rogers y Potter introducen el tema, con Penn añadiendo gradualmente percusión de fondo. El final, "Moment in Time", es una intrigante balada de bajo perfil, omitiendo el piano y el saxo tenor, mientras que Colley (un veterano del trío del guitarrista Jim Hall) responde a la configuración despojada con algunos de sus mejores trabajos de la sesión. Muy recomendable.

En Apparitions, por tercera vez, el guitarrista Adam Rogers reúne a sus compañeros de banda Ed Simon (piano), Scott Colley (bajo) y Clarence Penn (batería), que aparecen en su bien recibido debut discográfico, Art Of The Invisible (Criss 1223) y Allegory (Criss 1242).
De esta última fecha regresa también el saxofonista tenor Chris Potter, habitual de Criss Cross.
Los 8 temas originales, interpretados en trío, cuarteto y quinteto, abarcan desde la balada al burnout, y todos los miembros tocan con el matiz y el fuego adecuados. Esta cita reforzará la reputación de Rogers como una de las voces más frescas del mundo del jazz.
