Biography

In the late 1970s, Holzman founded Los Angeles based jazz-rock band, The Fents with guitarist Ted Hall. [2] [3] 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. [3]

Holzman has performed as a sideman with Bob Belden, Tom Browne, Wayne Escoffery, Charles Fambrough, Anton Fig, Robben Ford, Jane Getter, Randy Hall, Ray Manzarek, Jason Miles, Marcus Miller, Michel Petrucciani, Wallace Roney, Steps Ahead, Grover Washington Jr., Lenny White and Ray Wilson. Many of these performers he has also produced, arranged, and composed for. [4] Since 2011 Adam has recorded and toured extensively with Steven Wilson, and is currently a member of his backing band. [4]

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. [5] [6]
