An endorsed artist for P. Mauriat saxophones\, The Boston Sax Shop and Key Leaves\, Adam began playing saxophone at the age of 11. Described by critic Howard Reich of The Chicago-Tribune as “a player for whom the word ‘prodigious’ was coined”\, by Peter Hum of the Ottawa Citizen as “a saxophonist who brings Donny McCaslin and Mark Turner to mind”\, and by Nate Chinen of The New York Times as “the sort of jazz musician who gets flagged early on as a promising talent and then hustles to meet every requirement for success”\, Larson has garnered numerous awards that distinguish him as one of the most promising artists of his generation. Upon graduating from high school in 2008\, Adam moved to New York City to pursue his BM and MM in Jazz Performance on full-scholarship from The Manhattan School\, finishing his studies in 2014. \nLarson has released seven albums; two for Outside In\, one for Ropeadope Records\, two under the Inner Circle Music label and two produced independently.

Larson’s Trio received a South Arts “Jazz Road Touring Grant” in 2022 and In 2015 Larson’s quartet was selected as one of ten ensembles to tour on behalf of the U.S. State Department’s “American Music Abroad”program and toured Africa for 35 days visiting The Democratic Republic of Congo\, Senegal\, Benin and Ghana. \nBeyond maintaining an active touring and recording schedule\, Larson continues to be a sought after clinician and masterclass presenter and has been a guest at more than seventy-five Universities across the world.
