[Dream Dancing is] a testament to Beegie’s inventive jazz sense, her wonderful sense of time and improvised melody.
Helen Merrill, legendary jazz singer
Until I heard the music of The Beegie Adair Trio, I had no emotional understanding of the term: Soul Music.
William B., Quincy, FL
You don’t play the piano. You caress it and coax it to let out of its heart the sound that particular song should be played.
Jerry G., College Point, NY
Absolute piano genius! I used to think Peter Nero could play piano…Beegie has him beat by a LONG shot!
Scott C.; Marietta, GA
Your music is like a long, cool, and mellow sip of delicious wine! I am so glad I’ve found your music.
Joy L., Irvine, CA
She is what she is, and those who can appreciate her jazz piano touch know an accomplished artist when they hear one. It takes a long time to develop a truly intimate jazz style like hers.
Bob M.; Melbourne, FL
Your ability to serve a delicious dish of melody, with meaning, has blessed my hungry ears and won my heart. Oscar Peterson is no longer my favorite…you are.
Ray V.; Black Mountain, NC
I have been a Shearing and Previn fan for many years, but Beegie’s sound surpasses those guys by far. You have fans for life.
Alex & Sandra B.; Blue Ridge, GA
You are to the piano what Streisand is to the human voice. There’s never a time in my home when we have dinner guests or a social evening that I don’t put on only your music. What a mood it sets.
Jerome E., Freehold, NJ
Beegie = The Beauty of Swing, Time,Touch and Lyricism.
Gene B., Waterdown, Ontario
You are the greatest!! I found your website on the back of your I’ll Take Romance CD. We lost our daughter in the World TradeCenter on September 11th, and your beautiful music recorded on that day has soothed our souls.
Jane H., East Northport, NY
We ‘met’ Beegie on our honeymoon last year when we bought I’ll Take Romance and continue to play her CD to help ‘set the mood.’
Ron & Pam P., New Orleans, LA
While undergoing radiation for lymphoma, a friend sent me two Beegie Adair CD’s. I was wiped out by the radiation, but I’d lay there listening to this amazing music (I’m not even a jazz fan) and the world was okay.
Charles B.; Rotonda West, FL
I heard Love, Elvis in a coastal Maine store. After a 15 year hiatus on the piano, I have now started playing again. Beegie has given me the greatest gift. I have my music back now and it has changed my life. Beegie is one of those special people that comes along once in a lifetime.
Richard H.; Enfield, CT
Just heard about Beegie two months ago, and I have nine of her CDs already.
Bill V., Mesa, AZ
I was impressed that this is out of Nashville, and not country music!
Jenn C., Nashville, TN
The most marvelous jazz trio I’ve ever heard. Thank you for coming into my music world.
George C., Fishkill, NY
You have captured the fantastic sounds of my all time favorites!
Charles H., Terre Haute, IN
I just thought Nashville as all Country music. Boy, was I wrong.
Bill H., Framingham, MA
That Summer, That Sunday from the Nat King Cole Collection is the most beautiful thing I ever heard. I’m busy acquiring all your albums and telling all my friends about you.
Lamar M.; Mays Landing, NJ
Although in my seventies, I am studying Jazz piano, and if I could emulate Beegie’s music for a few years I could depart a happy man!
Brendan D.; Leinster, Ireland
Your music really brightens my days.
Betty M., Del Rio, TX
Thank you for helping me remember music and the good times of the past.
Ruth F., Bowling Green, KY
Your technique is beautiful; your expression marvelous.
Fred H., Endicott, NY
Welcome to my life! I salute your musicianship, technique, and expression. The kids on CDs these days aren’t even close to your league.
Mike B., Tuckahoe, NY
Where have you been all our lives? Just glad we found you at last.
Barbara B., Miamisburg, OH
You are truly an artist, and your stylings, arrangements, and trio musicianship are at the top of their class.
John N., McKinney, TX
All I can say is please hurry up and record another project.
Art M., Placerville, CA
I have many CDs, and I have not stopped playing Beegie Adair’s CD of Sinatra tunes since I purchased it.
Mary Lou C., Richmond, VT
Her CDs are my all time favorites in my 500+ CD collection.
William B., Quincy, FL
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your work. Superb taste and musicianship.
John B., Lincroft, NJ
Like Tony the Tiger says, ‘Grrrreat!’
Larry M., Channahon, IL

A treasure in this town for decades. Still cooler than the breeze.
Robert K. Oermann, Music Row
Beegie’s piano work is very much like Sinatra’s vocal style-finely crafted, elegantly non-chalant, subtle yet interesting, and always swinging.
Jazz and Blues News
The interpretations are very stylish while retaining the classic flavor that each piece SHOULD convey.

American standards alive and kicking.

Adair’s style is simple, direct and effective. Smooth sailing all the way.

Pianist Beegie Adair will take you back to the days when songs were judged by the beauty of the melody.

She educates through her recordings.
Drew Walen, City Paper (Nashville) full article
Spiced up, warm and jazzy interpretations. Her piano playing and the solid musicianship of her band, make for a solid performance.
