A.S.J.Q. (Adam Smale Jazz Quartet):
Adam Smale (7-string guitar)
Don Thompson/Artie Roth (bass)
Joel Haynes (drums)
Jeff King (sax)

Since his first performance at the tender age of eight, Adam has been enamoured by the stage and audience. From the age of twelve, Adam has been playing professionally, performing many styles of music. Performing music has allowed him to travel across Canada, South America, India, and the Middle East. In fall of 2000, Adam’s first, self-produced CD, was released, and was No.9 in the Canadian National Radio Jazz Charts. Even though Adam considers himself a jazz musician foremost, his experience over the years playing many kinds of music has been enough for some people three times over. Adam feels this rich, vast, mix of many styles is what has helped shape his unique sound. He holds a Bachelor of Music from Humber College in Toronto and loves to share his knowledge with inspiring, and more advanced musicians, alike. Adam teaches seminars and workshops in Toronto, and Vancouver for Guitar Workshop Plus. He also teaches in Nashville, Tennessee, and Austin, Texas for the National Guitar Workshop. Adam joined the faculty here at Camp Rock last season and is looking forward to this year.
