Adam Faulk is a Jazz pianist, writer, and producer originally from the Greater Boston area. He was first introduced to music through violin lessons at the age of five. In high school he switched to viola, which he played in the Greater Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra from 1995-1998. Around this time he gravitated to the piano and attended the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, graduating in 1998.
Since attending Oberlin, Adam has had the privilege and pleasure to play and study with such artists as Donald Byrd, Billy Hart, Robin Eubanks, Gary Bartz and Marcus Belgrave. Faulk has studied under George W. Russell Jr., the late Neal Creque, Lafayette Harris Jr. and Dan Wall.
When Adam isn’t performing you will find him in the studio: writing, producing and arranging Jazz, hip-hop and R&B. Most recently Faulk was musical director for the late singer Billy Paul, who passed away in 2016. Adam has also recorded with the Cleveland-based smooth-Jazz group Morris Code on their fourth album Nothin’ but a Daydream and continues to freelance with Jazz and R&B groups in the Philadelphia area.
His composition “Sunday Blues” from the Philadelphia Real Book promises to be one of the many pleasures at this special Roxborough concert.
