Jam band extraordinaires, Tyler Adams Organ Trio, released their new jazz-funk E.P. The Color Red Sessions on August 9. Comprised of Tyler Adams and Caton Sollenberger of The Jauntee and Will Trask of The High Hawks, the trio effectively brings different experiences to this new collection of music.
The ensemble is a part of Color Red Music, out of Denver, CO. Tyler Adams is the keyboardist for the Boston-based band The Jauntee, along with trio member, guitarist, Caton Sollenberger. After years of experience in the east coast jam-band scene, they’re entering a different musical sphere out west. Similarly, drummer, Will Trask, also has extensive band experience with multiple collectives, notably The High Hawks.
This E.P. marks the debut of the Tyler Adams Organ Trio. Made up of individually established musicians, the trio’s first product showcases musical depth and well-versed collaboration. Produced by Tyler Adams, the collection was evidently created with much care and attention to detail throughout an extremely hands-on experience.
The Color Red Sessions, which features the prominent Hammond B3 organ, exemplifies the sound of many other musicians under Color Red Music. The refreshing layers of organ, guitar, and percussion instrumentation create a syncopated dynamic. The energy presented across all five tracks emulates that of a relaxed jam session. Hence the record’s title, it subsequently brings the recording atmosphere to life through the songs.
Though lyricless, each song presents it’s own character. The musicians simultaneously convey the song’s individual messages through their respective roles. The drums and guitar create melodic accents as they follow the organ’s lead producing, positive, high-energy songs, that also hold a relaxing beat. Overall, Adams, Sollenberger, and Trask produced a body of groovy, experimental music that creatively tells a story.
