The Bruce Adams Quartet (trumpet)
By the time he was twelve, Bruce was working three to four nights a week in the Glasgow area playing in small dance band residencies and performing in a cabaret act with his father. When he was fourteen he was sponsored on Hughie Green’s Opportunity Knocks by British trumpet legend Nat Gonella.
You don’t need to attend a course of lectures in order to know what he’s on about, because he speaks a musical language which everybody understands and speaks it with uncommon elegance and vigour.
His legendary richness of tone has recently been enhanced by his partnership with Eclipse trumpets, providing him with a trumpet, flugel and cornet. Bruce’s long career has brought him associations with many top players who value his spectacular technique and lyrical capacity – from Kenny Baker’s Dozen to a regular feature spot in Alan Barnes’ Octet.
He is a multiple British Jazz Awards winner, having been nominated more than twenty times!
Bruce continues to ply his trade encompassing jazz styles ranging from Louis Armstrong to the modern-day. This will be a night to remember!
