Adam has a new album! Search for Rebelión on iTunes or CD Baby!

This performance brings tears to my eyes. You go Soldiers and past Veterans! We may not need to agree with why you are over there, but we do certainly hope you stay safe!

I hit rewind easily a half a dozen times and let the sound pierce my ears! I told my four and five year old boys this is why live music is so cool, and playing an instrument is so important! Very good, even the "human" spots that didn't sound synthesized!

Texas Stadium NOT Cowboys Stadium

Great performance. I appreciate the fact that Adam played the anthem in the traditional manner. So many trumpet guys want to improvise so much while performing this, that it ruins the anthem. Maybe in other settings but not on a national stage such as this. Kudos to Adam for a job well done!

From a student of his at age 53.

Thank heaven for YouTube. I'm so glad this was posted because I would have hated to miss it. Hopefully this will get you some of the National attention you've so long deserved to have. Super job, bro!

Way to represent the "real" musicians out there Adam. No lip syncing, no big production, no fireworks, no 5 part harmony, just the melody and some fine trumpet playing. Awesome job. I am going to have all my trumpet students up here in Baltimore check this out.
