Adam Holzman

Adam Holzman (born February 15, 1958) is an American jazz, jazz fusion and rock keyboardist best known for his work with Miles Davis and Steven Wilson. He is the son of Elektra Records' founder Jac Holzman. In addition, he is also a music producer.

Biography In musical regards, Adam Holzman was mainly influenced by The Doors, Leon Russell and Dr. John, and then by progressive rock bands Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Yes as well as jazz fusion artists Chick Corea of Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Billy Cobham. In the late 1970s, Holzman founded Los Angeles-based jazz-rock band, The Fents with guitarist Ted Hall and bassist Doug Hodges (with whom he had also collaborated on Ray Manzarek's solo studio album Carmina Burana). In 1985, he was hired by Miles Davis to play keyboards on the trumpeter's Tutu album, and stayed with him for four years, eventually becoming his musical director. In the early 1990s, he founded the band Mona Lisa Overdrive, which changed its name to Brave New World due to copyright issues.

Holzman, Nick Beggs and Craig Blundell formed a supergroup, Trifecta, with their debut album, Fragments, released in 2021. Their next album, The New Normal, was released on April 12, 2024.
