Outside of Imperial, Adam enjoys golf and traveling. We asked Adam about his favorite Imperial Brass memory: “It involved the Ocean Grove Concert. No, not the one where it rained, which is like every time we play there I’m referring to the one with legendary trumpet/cornet/flugelhorn player Phil Smith! Phil’s performance of ‘Someone to Watch Over’ me is always mesmerizing and inspiring. In this particular concert, Phil’s wife joined him in a vocal/trumpet duet and it was a gorgeous rendition of the piece.”
