“Powerful blues-inflected playing that would easily find a home on Miles Davis’ Jack Johnson sessions.” - The Wire

Adam Caine grew up in Rochester, New York, studied music at the University of Rochester, and has lived in Brooklyn, NY since the first days of the 21st Century. Caine’s trio CD’s “Thousandfold” (NoBusiness Records, 2009) and “Pipe” (TrueFalse, 2005) received rave reviews in the Wire, Cadence, and All About Jazz. His most recent CD is The Moon’s “Good and Evil” (577 Records, 2013).
