the adammecklerquintet
The Adam Meckler Quintet is Adam's newest project featuring his original music. Coming from a diverse background of musics, the AMQ blends their unique sounds together to create a band that is sure to make some noise. With influences ranging from the roots of jazz to Dave Douglas to Rock/Pop music, this band brings melodic melodies and heady solos to the stage. The Adam Meckler Quintet consists of Adam Meckler: trumpet, Adam Linz: bass, Zacc Harris: guitar, Nathan Hanson: Tenor Sax, and Greg Schutte: drums.
"Adam Meckler may be new to the Twin Cities, but this well-studied trumpeter is poised to make some real noise in the scene...Meckler brings a highly refined melodic sense to his writing, and takes chances with his solos in very exciting ways..." - Dakota Jazz Club

"...[Meckler] solos in a twisty swirl of concentric circles of sound...on flugelhorn, Meckler’s songful voice is sweet and round..." - jazzpolice.com
"A standout track is “Just Wait for Spring,” a sweet incantation with Meckler soloing over his rhythm section...it is largely the leader’s vehicle, which he drives with hymnal elegance." - jazzpolice.com

Lulu's Playground is an amalgamation of sounds from different genres and influences. Sometimes its pretty, and sometimes its nutty, and we think you'll like it. Lulu's is made up of four old friends who go back to their school days at Lawrence University Music Conservatory. They've played together in jazz groups, salsa bands, orchestras, improvisation classes, and hallway jam sessions, and now they've joined forces in a new city to bring you an old chemistry. The band consists of a unique instrumentation including trumpet, cello, accordion, and guitar.
