Adam Cruz is an American jazz drummer from New York City.

Biography

He is best known for his work with pianist Danilo Perez,[1] Tom Harrell, saxophonist Steve Wilson, David Sanchez, and pianist Edward Simon. He has also toured and recorded with the Mingus Big Band, saxophonist Chris Potter, guitarist Charlie Hunter, and Chick Corea's Origin.

Cruz's debut album as a leader was released in 2011 on Sunnyside Records. Milestone was given favorable reviews by the Los Angeles Times,[2] Downbeat Magazine,[3] and JazzTimes.[4] The New York Times describes the album as "Informed by several strains of Latin music but just as meaningfully by brisk post-bop and lyrically minded free jazz".[5]
