- Adam Rogers could well go down in history as one of the greatest guitarists ever. This solo showcases so many layers of his talent and innate ability to navigate improvisation, groove, ensemble playing, feel, time and sound no matter what the circumstances.
This solo is taken from a Michael Brecker Quartet performance from the early 2000's with Larry Goldings on B3, Clarence Penn on drums, Adam Rogers on guitar, and the great Michael Brecker on tenor sax. The composition is by George Whitty and is entitled Renaissance Man from the Michael Brecker album Time is of the Essence.

Love to see Rogers getting some love! Big fan
Where can we get a copy of this? I love Brecker and Rogers!!
Hello from Kansas City, Missouri Janek. This is absolutely an outstanding Solo not only for Jazz Guitar but for any Instrument or Genre. With Jazz, there is a great amount of honor given to the Great Legends of the past and present. With that in mind, some of this Guitar Language comes from Pat Methenys solo from the Studio Album. Key word here is some. But where this Guitar Language really comes from is George Benson and Pat Martino. For anyone that's interested, please check out The Cooker by George Benson and On The Stairs by Pat Martino. Also as far as Aggressive in your face Jazz Guitar Solos go, check out Out By Twelve by Bill Connors and Devil Take The Hindmost by Allen Holdsworth. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing Janek. Absolutely incredible. Love Adam’s playing so much. Much appreciated sir.
Great video. Huge fan of Adam Rogers.
Absolutely incredible. Adam bridged the gap from Martino to Metheny, and then did more modal changes to his playing. Just a great player!
Yes!!! What a band, and Adam sounds like a million bucks, as always! 🔥
Any chance you’ve got a link to this bootleg? I’d love to transcribe this myself. Thanks, Janek!
Adam is severely underated IMO. Everything he plays on sounds great, but some of his recordings with Brecker are truly mind blowing.
Great video! More of this kind please!
Loving the new series! And the flood of new JG videos.
Adam is my favorite jazz guitar player. Thanks for the video!
Funnily enough my first first thought seeing the title and thumbnail was Renaissance Man but different performance!
That was bananas! First time that I have ever heard this dude. Will definitely check him out in more depth. As always, thank you for the insight, you are the man! Ok, back to the goddamn woodshed!
Thanks for posting this inspiring solo Janek. Holy cow. Curious -do you hear a through line from Pat Martino to Adam? That relentless 16th-note playing, mixed with triad pairs, repeating licks and morphing them, the evolving rhythmic displacement you mention, etc. makes me think there's a connection.
Quick break from practice transcribing some of your stuff (at least trying 😅) Now this is a treat 😸
Hi Janek, thanks for sharing this.
I can't say of it is the greatest of all time but it's epic !
When it comes to transcribing, do you advice to write everything down ? Or only the trickiest part ? Thank you.
I write everything down because there’s no way I’ll remember it 10 years from now now, and I always want the option to reference transcriptions later.
Adam Rogers is too much!
Waaaay too fast 😂 ❤ Time is of the Essence is one of my favourite records and I love Renaissance Man. But speaking of fast, do you know Russell Malone? Of course you do. On his album Black Butterfly there is my favorite execution of "Jingles", really really fast and dynamic, but the right kind of fast, alike here with Adam Rogers solo. Maybe this album by Russell will inspire another video?
Is This The Greatest Jazz Clickbait Ever?
Not even close. Plenty of better clickbait titleists than me unfortunately.
If it was, it’d have 30k views already…
The word 'Jazz' is counterproductous for clickbait purposes ...
