Adams has been categorized as minimalist, post-minimalist, or neo-romantic, but in fact he is all of these, and at the same time has a flexible style that cannot be summed up in one category. The works here include those he wrote over a period of about 20 years. Slonimsky's Iarbox\" is inspired by several moments from Stravinsky's \"The Nightingale Song,\" and offers an orchestral explosion of color. The title of \"My Father Knew Charles Ives\" seems to have been subconsciously inspired by Morton Feldman's \"I Met Heine on Fürstenbergstrasse,\" which Adams says was inspired by his father Carl Adams (from whom he learned to play the clarinet, which was John Adams' However, he says that if they had ever met, they would have hit it off as businessmen by day and artists by night, living in two neighboring states, Massachusetts and Connecticut.The piece is a tribute to the great composer, who continued to create uniquely American works, using the technique of quoting Ives' works, which are often quoted further. Tromba Lontana\" is a fanfare written in a post-minimalist style, and as the name of the piece, which means \"trumpets apart,\" suggests, two trumpets, one on each side, call out to each other, supported by a mysterious sound. Incidentally, it was published together with \"Short Ride in a Fast Machine\" as \"Two Fanfares,\" but this is not the coupling intended by the composer. Lollapalooza\" is an American slang word meaning \"outstanding (person), outrageous,\" and the work was written as a gift for Simon Rattle's 40th birthday. Motifs based on this word appear on the trombone, and various other elements are combined in this popular piece, which has also been arranged for brass band. Under the composer's supervision, Paavo Järvi and the Tonhalle Orchestra give a lively performance that knows the key points of the work, resulting in an album that is more interesting the more you listen to it.
