Beyond his sheer virtuosity and versatility, drummer Adam Deitch has proven to be a musician of perpetual motion.

In just over a year’s time, he has been the driving force behind psychedelic funk veterans Lettuce’s eighth studio album Unify, released a hip-hop beats album TAKE YOUR TIME, and now returns with the second LP release from his soul-jazz project The Adam Deitch Quartet entitled Roll The Tape.

Available via Deitch’s imprint Golden Wolf Records on November 10th, 2023, the forthcoming album exemplifies his unwavering commitment to producing authentic music from a broad spectrum of styles, all rooted in his tutelage of rhythmic studies & groove, and his upbringing as a drummer from a young age.

Deitch is joined by organist Wil Blades, Lettuce cohorts Eric “Benny” Bloom on trumpet and Ryan Zoidis on saxophone.

7. Play on Playa
8. 7 Down
9. Have Faith
10. Language Interlude 4

The new recording opens on the sheer, unadulterated coolness of Lay It Back and the groove-laden Mushroom Gravy (with John Scofield) and then proceeds to bring us the funky, uplifting melodies with the titular Roll The Tape, the gently frenetic rhythms within The Green Light and the veritably shimmering Alone Together.

Along next is the organically sculpted Language Interlude 3 and the melodiously groovy Play on Playa, and they are in turn backed by the enthusiastic 7 Down, the aptly-titled, Gosspel-hued Have Faith, coming to a close on the atmospherically-charged, yet at all times measured Language Interlude 4.

Roll The Tape features ten brand-new songs that transcend the traditional organ trio format and are accentuated by Deitch’s prowess for funk, breakbeat, hip-hop, and electronic music experiences coupled with highlighting the strengths of every musician in the group.

“Wil and I are both basketball fans and homies. He is highly skilled with the organ pedals and lefthand bass and is super smart and easy to work with. Zoidis and Bloom always balance each other out with Zoidis bringing a psychedelic vibe with his effects and Benny bringing his wild, crazy Benny attitude as a great musician with great showmanship,” says Deitch.
