PORTAL CD & DVD SET
by: MARGIE ADAM This DVD combines the rich contemplative core of Margie's piano solo music (a seven minute version of Avalon) with a surprising new visual element of her artistic sensibility: photography set in motion. The compilation CD, Portal, brings together ten solo piano performances with clear melodies, lush chord color and mesmerizing polyrhythms from Naked Keys, Soon and Again and her latest release, Avalon. |

BEST OF MARGIE ADAM (RE-ISSUE)
by: MARGIE ADAM Compiled originally for a Women's Music Classics series (along with Meg Christian and Cris Williamson on Olivia Records) this recording includes Margie's choice of songs from her first four recordings, to represent her work on CD at a time when she'd been off the road for six years, and was certain she would never compose or perform again. It includes a rendition of WOODLAND taken not from NAKED KEYS, but from a more recent project called TAKE HANDS, featuring Margie, Susan Griffin and Honor Moore. Completely remastered in 2005 with a bonus track of "Sweet Friend" with Cris, Vicki and Margie! |

AVALON

SOON & AGAIN
by: MARGIE ADAM "This is the kind of music that grows on you, becomes part of your life" says a reviewer from Jazziz. "I played it one night for my 7-year-old daughter. Now she wants to hear it every night before bed. Adam's playing and composing over the years have matured like a fine merlot. Her approach is spare and lyrical, distilled to the essence of melody. Each melody brims with emotion and intelligence. Each track carries the honesty of a Georgia O'Keefe painting and the emotional punch of a Flannery O'Connor short story. |

NAKED KEYS
by: MARGIE ADAM Deceptively simple and simply elegant. This recording pre-dates what Wyndam Hill later turned into a signature emphasis on atmosphere over melody and rhythm. Margie has said, "I've always related to the piano as an orchestra. As an arranger and composer, my work is to find the bass, the string section, the polyrhythms, the melody and descants and bring them all together -- kind of like a jigsaw puzzle." |
