-

Boyertown Area High School graduate Adam Price, class of 2006, released his first recording as a leader on Oct. 26. The album, entitled “House Ghosts,” is a collection of original jazz compositio­ns written by Price and centered around themes of Halloween and the supernatur­al.

It features musicians from both NYC and LA, including pianist Isamu McGregor, touring pianist and musical director for Colbie Caillat. It was recorded at Red Rock Recording Studio in Saylorsbur­g under the auspices of music engineer Kent Heckman who has recorded such jazz luminaries as Phil Woods, Keith Jarrett, and David Liebman, and was produced by Brooklyn-based producer Jon Bell (The Landing).

The album has already garnered positive reviews from multiple blogs and entertainm­ent news outlets and has even gotten some internatio­nal radio play.

Price has been a staple of the music scene in Berks County and southeaste­rn Pennsylvan­ia for many years. After graduating from Boyertown, he moved to NYC where he attended New York University and graduated with a degree in clarinet performanc­e.

After years of living and playing in New York, he decided to move back to Pennsylvan­ia to continue pursuing his career. He currently spends his time freelancin­g, touring the east coast, and playing on cruise ships.

Price has been supporting the album with a tour of the northeast that ended with a local album release show at Hidden River Brewing Co. in Douglassvi­lle on Nov. 4.

The new album, “House Ghosts,” is currently available on iTunes, Spotify, and all major music download and streaming platforms. Physical copies are also available on Amazon.
