MySpace Layouts


An accomplished composer, arranger and educator as well as bassist, Adam led the successful folk/rock/klezmer/funk 14-piece big band All God's Children for six years. The Aquarian Weekly (NJ) named Adam "Best Bassist" and the band "Best Band" in 1993. He later performed and/or recorded with a wide range of talented musicians and dancers, including Levon Helm, Sahib Shihab, Perry Robinson, Walter Perkins, Ethel (string quartet), Teocinte (from El Salvador), Jack Hardy, Claire Daly, The Angstones, Solar, David Driver, Sean Altman, Mary McBride and Jennifer Muller/The Works. In 1990 Adam toured Japan with Hilario Soto's Higher Culture, and in 1993 studied percussion at the Escuela Nacional De Danzaq Moderna Y Folklorica in Havana, Cuba. As a composer and arranger, Adam co-arranged the score for a television program on Groucho Marx that aired on the A&E network's popular series "Biography." He has composed many scores for dance, performed at Columbia and Rutgers universities as well as other performances spaces. In 1998, while continuing to perform and record, Adam turned his attention toward jazz education. He recently ended his tenure as jazz director at the Berkeley-Carroll School in Brooklyn, NY and on the faculty at Jazz at Lincoln Center. He received a proclamation for his outstanding work in jazz education from Brooklyn Borough president Marty Markowitz on June 3, 2005. Adam is currently working with the band Solar promoting their CD "Suns of Cosmic Consciousness" and has finished a new CD of original pop material with They Might Be Giants drummer Marty Beller entitled "Dust Off The Timeless Night". Adam Bernstein is currently performing as part of The Laurie Berkner Band on the new season of NOGGIN's "Jack's Big Music Show." Adam played bass on Laurie Berkner's first three award-winning and critically acclaimed releases, 1997's 'Whaddaya Think Of That?', 1998's 'Buzz Buzz,' and 1999's 'Victor Vito.'

It was great to meeting/jamming/talking with you at the Art of Improvisation workshop.  I greatly enjoyed listening to "Dust off the Timeless Night" on the l-o-n-g drive back to Virginia -- it is truly a phenomenal piece of work!  I look forward to the next time our paths cross; in the meantime, if you'd like to hear some of what I've been up to, please check out the links posted at http://netnewmusic.ning.com/profile/tazook .

I'll take a freak grand salami by a pitcher any day over an 11-0 drubbing like we saw the next day. Oy vey! But I did see Mermaids on this trip, and that was worth the price of the plane ticket! ... of course seeing you was good too!
