Background: 'Second-Handed Blues' is the debut album by Adam Fairhall (piano) and Paul J Rogers (electronics, sound sculpture and other instruments). Innovative but highly listenable, the music often includes samples from the far reaches of jazz history - a vocal line from a 1920s vaudeville blues record, or strains from a Scott Joplin rag - and mixes them with contemporary idioms and techniques to create a playful dialogue between styles, eras and technologies.

Adam Fairhall's piano-playing reveals a love of jazz piano from ragtime, boogie and stride to postbop and free jazz. Although this is his first album as co-leader, he is already establishing himself as a creative artist on the British scene. He is the current recipient of the Manchester Jazz Festival's 'Originals' commission, and was selected for edition VI of Serious Production's prestigious Take Five artist development scheme.

'Fairhall and Rodgers meld living improvisation with archival material - to striking effect..this fascinsating project deserves and rewards careful study.' - Jazzwise.
