Adam Good is a graduate of the Berklee College of Music in Boston. With a foundation in jazz guitar, his interest in the music of Eastern Europe and Turkey began in the mid-90s.
His talent on tambura, Turkish ud, guitar, and knowledge of Turkish makam have made Adam a fixture of New York's Balkan and Middle Eastern music scenes. He plays regularly with the ensembles Sherita, Dolunay, Pontic Firebird, and with clarinet master Souren Baronian's ensemble Taksim. His self-released CD, entitled Dances of Macedonia and the Balkans, features several of his folk compositions alongside familiar melodies. Adam lives in Brooklyn and regularly teaches in the New York City area.
"Good is good at what he does, playing quick dance tunes on tambura with an intricate style -- the music goes well with wine. Dances is a sure bet for Balkan dancers out for a light, rapid chochek, or for Markos Vamvakaris or Andy Irvine enthusiasts, or anyone else, for that matter, who wants to hear good music in uneven meter!" -- Green Man Review
