Description
This is Adam’s first contemporary classical piano album since 1996’s ‘Tapestries’ which he recorded
with Rick Wakeman. ‘A Handful Of Memories’ is the result of an appreciation upon reflection of
Adam’s past experiences, trips with his family, his touring families and friends in some places that
hold special memories for him.
To reflect the personal, minimalist nature of the tracks, no effort was made to remove any of the pedal
noises or enhace the tracks in any way, as Adam wanted them as exposed and natural as they can be.
The pandemic had a hand in Adam’s return to modern classical piano after 25 years. As a highly
sought-after touring pianist, Adam played extensively with Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Travis
and many others. When the pandemic started, and the music world paused, he was halfway through a
South American tour with Martin Barre on his 50th Anniversary Tour of Jethro Tull. Forced to leave
his gear in Peru and hurry home before the airports closed, a period of reflection had started and this
album is a result of that.
