Making of the Record
Jimmy is known for a variety of electric blues styles that most often feature his swinging guitar playing. However, the session for Sweet Memories took a different approach. Working only with his producer and recording engineer Larry Nath, Jimmy started all of these songs in his kitchen with an acoustic guitar. Jimmy began by locating parts of song ideas from scraps of paper and assorted notebooks in his house. He then wrote feverishly in one notebook until he was able to organize, arrange, and record in his kitchen the eleven songs that are on this album.
Once the acoustic core of these songs were recorded in the kitchen, the sessions moved to Electric Larry Land Studio in Indiana, PA where Jimmy and Larry proceeded to arrange how other instruments would be added to compliment the basic style of each song.
As a bandleader, singer and guitarist who has lent his talents to a variety of bands throughout the Pittsburgh region, Jimmy Adler has played many styles that are always steeped in the blues, yet always stamped with his unmistakable touch. As both a front man and a supporter of some of the region’s most well respected musicians, he is known for his identifiable sound.
Although his touch is paramount to his identity as a maker of music who has a distinctive voice, his singing and playing on Sweet Memories offers a different side of Jimmy, yet is just as satisfying as the music he has been known to produce over his more than 30 years of performing.

Cemetery video: I came to this spot searching for songs. The church bells in the distance have been a reminder of many of my life’s events. This one is from the bells of St Basils. #ialwaysthought
