I hope you like the inspiring debut album Suns Of Cosmic Consciousness by the jazz combo Solar as much as I do. And here you find some more info about Solar in my interview with target=”_blank”.
Q: Please tell me how did you, Eli Yamin and Andy Demos come together and how Solar was founded.
Adam Bernstein: We met in 1986 at Rutgers University in New Jersey. We were all studying jazz and found we had likeminded ideas about the power of the music, politics, living in the moment and the pursuit of a spirtual path.
Q: Which musicians has influenced the sound of Solar and where do you see the Solar’s place in today’s jazz market?
Adam Bernstein: We’re influnced by 30’s swing, the free improvisational music of the 60’s, indian devotional music, Monk, Mingus, Bill Evans, Duke, Sun Ra, Charlie Haden, Jelly Roll Morton, John Coltrane, the list could go on and on.
