An Atlanta-based jazz fusion ensemble, The Adrian Ash Group is truly an unbelievable display of passion and talent featuring some of Atlanta’s finest Jazz players! But, don't let the name fool you- this is a team effort...
"I don't know what he's gonna play!"
As artistic director, Adrian performs on a number of different instruments (bass, drum-set and hand percussion, and occasionally vibraphone/marimba, keyboards or guitar). Behind the scenes, Adrian composes, educates, and knowledgeably and creatively engineers live audio and studio recordings.
But The Adrian Ash Group would be nothing without its team of hard-working performers! Adrian draws on the finest players in Atlanta and the Southeast! This virtuoso network of musicians allows him to mix up the Group's instrumentation (sax, guitar, keys, trumpet, Latin percussion, e.g.) and size to suit the occasion, from trio to octet.
The Adrian Ash Group puts a contemporary, zany, and often funky twist on Jazz standards, balancing contemporary rock genres with straight ahead Jazz and Afro-Cuban classics. Toss in some unexpected originals and jazzed-up covers and you’ve got the best new music group in Atlanta! Book us for your next event! Do it NOW!!!
