Adam Holzman - Tales From The Secret Laboratory, Episode 1

Adam Holzman is a highly respected musician. Born in New York City, Adam is the son of Elektra Records founder, Jac Holzman. He grew up in California and started classical piano lessons at age 12, but his main influences were “The Doors”, Leon Russell and Dr. John.
He started getting into progressive rock and jazz-rock during the late 70s, which in turn led to a growing interest in jazz. This interest and evident talent brought Adam to the attention of Miles Davis, which whom he played for four years and features on the album Tutu. Adam is well known for being the keyboard player in Steven Wilson's critically acclaimed live band. As well as performing live, Adam has contributed many keyboard/piano/synth parts to Steven's albums, most recently on the 2023 studio album The Harmony Codex.
He works with drummer Craig Blundell and bass player Nick Beggs under the name Trifecta. Their new album "The New Normal" comes out on 12th April 2024. You can buy it here: amzn.to/49CGjoZ (I will earn a small commission if you buy from Amazon)

[@JimNewstead]

I haven't played them yet on the channel - they are part of Steven Wilson's live band, but doing their own thing.

Great interview Jim!! My girlfriend is a keyboard/piano player and Adam is one of her favorite player. We watched the interview together and she loved it. Thanks!

[@JimNewstead]

That's great, glad you both enjoyed it!

[@jbognap]

Adam humbly doesn't mention his solo / Brave New World records, which are fantastic funky jazz rock outings. Check "Anthology" for a "Greatest Hits" sampler.

[@JimNewstead]

I am so going to check that out! Thank you!
