At 22, Adam Scone is well on his way to being the most talked about young Hammond B-3 player in New York City. Building a following 4-5 nights a week at the hot new midtown Savoy Lounge. Other gigs have included playing with Cecil Payne, Jeannie Bryson, Doug Lawerence, Dan Converse, John Webber, Scott Wendtholt, Joe Cohn, Eric Alexander, Steve Wilson, among others. Adam has also played his share of venues, leading his trio at Showman's Lounge, Cleopatra's Needle, Augies, Smalls, Tavern on the Green, Daydream, Jasmine in Newark, Joe's Mill Hill Saloon in Trenton, Casa Montego in Paterson, Bop Stop in Cleveland and the Blue Moon Jazz Club in Philly, only to mention a few.

Adam was born on Sept. 20 1975 in Cleveland Ohio, but grew up in Youngstown, Ohio which had a fairly active Jazz scene for such a small city. He began playing piano at age five, but switched to the organ after hearing Gene Ludwig play and being encouraged by the great Youngstown drummer Shedrick Hobbs. He attended William Paterson College, and has been fortunate to encounter and learn from Kenny Burrell, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Jack McDuff, Reuben Wilson and Bobby Forrester.

"The only other thing I can add is that the Hammond sound is the best in the World." - adamscone@hotmail.com

"Adam is a talented young organist mature beyond his years. His influences include John Patton, Billy Gardner and Freddie Roach, which can be heard is his tasty accompaniment and solos. If you're in NYC and want to hear some organ playing, I highly recommend catching this fine musician." - Gilles Bacon (The Hammond Grounds)
