Album Notes

Word of Adam Rapa's trumpet playing has spread like wild fire around the globe in recent years. He's become recognized internationally as a star on the rise, possessing both blazing technical skills and great emotional depth.

A featured guest artist and master-clinician at the 2008 International Trumpet Guild conference and the 2007 & 2008 National Trumpet Competition, Rapa's also established himself as a world-class educator who brings as much excitement and inspiration to the classroom as he does the stage.

Adam is grateful to have shared the stage and/or recorded with Grammy Award winners Nicholas Payton & Roy Hargrove, Christian McBride, Doc Severinsen, Mnozil Brass, Soulive, The New Life Jazz Orchestra, Wycliffe Gordon, Eric Reed, Jason Moran, Robert Glasper, Cyrus Chestnut, Academy Award winning composer A.R. Rahman, and many other great artists over the years.

Adam looks forward to a long career of producing innovative and inspiring musical and theatrical experiences, and contributing to the greater good through the medium of art.

It's got it all!!!

This CD has got it all. It's energetic, smooth, fun and technical. I blast Poopy Pants Blues on my way to work in the morning to get me fired up. Blue in Green on the way home. It's all good, just a great CD. Adam, you are my 15 year old son Mitchell's hero. Keep doing what your doing. You help keep him focused. Love the CD.

I highly recommend this CD for all, and particularly for trumpet players. Adam Rapa brings a fresh, innovative approach to the instrument, and to each performance on this disc. "Calypso" and "Song for Josak" are my personal favorites.
