Australian Adam Page is a musical wizard.
In front of your very eyes he builds up layers of rhythm and melody
to produce a complete piece of music.
He opened with a funky number. Starting
with a basic drum beat using his voice, followed in turn by bass
guitar and keyboards; he played a driving saxophone melody. He has
all kinds of sophisticated gadgetry at his feet to enable him to
produce an amazing full sound as if it were coming out of a
recording studio.
By way of contrast, he can play different
musical styles. He played one lovely lyrical piece which opened with
an African thumb piano and ended with the flute. Musical
improvisation also figures in his act. Asking for three musical
styles he came up with a convincing number
He displays a wicked musical sense of
humour, with a vacuum cleaner tube, an electric drill and a carrot
all figuring effectively. Even the humble triangle is employed for
just one note. Despite the technical artistry and clowning around,
he is a very talented solo saxophonist
Adam Page provides a feel good hour of
entertainment that would please just about every musical taste.
