Fanatic
There’s a lot brewing in America, the homeland of bassist River Adomeit. With his band Flatland Prayer, he’s releasing a second album: Fanatic, a diptych. The first part focuses on the storming of the Capitol on January 6th. The second part expresses disappointment with the left-wing reaction to Trump’s re-election.
It’s immediately apparent: Adomeit is a born storyteller. He grew up with the quintessential American sounds of jazz, folk, and bluegrass. Musical roots that he expresses in a surprisingly contemporary way. He calls it “contemporary songwriting.”
The trio complements each other effortlessly. Antonio’s trumpet does more than just carry the melody; it also directs the rhythm and groove. River composes, Liva interprets. Together they forge a unique sound that smoothly balances tradition with fresh, contemporary jazz adventures.
