Composer
Composer and musician Miguel Kertsman lets us hear music rooted in European classical traditions and Brazilian folklore. An unbelievable Journey through time and Brazil’s music history… Overall, this music remains indescribable and defies categorization.
– Rolling Stone

Additional pieces will become available periodically.
From genre-smashing composer and keyboardist Miguel Kertsman and drummer Ernie Adams comes IN THE MOMENT, a true-to-its-name album that leaps over musical boundaries and defies any label. The single-take, minimally microphoned recordings capture the raw emotional potential of music and the spontaneity of an intimate recording session. Kertsman’s vintage analog keyboards, bass pedals, and Adams’ drums work in tandem to duck and weave between musical forms, mingling with progressive rock, jazz fusion, Brazilian, Eastern, and more, all seamlessly fused together into one cohesive musical journey.
