Artist History Adolphus Schwartz was a Jazz Organist/Pianist who toured the Oregon Coast in the mid to late 1960's. After that time, he disappeared, and noone has seen or heard from him since. There were several recordings made during his few active years, and these have recently been rediscovered and remastered (some were tapes, others were vinyl) by New York Producer AB+. Adolphus was a unique musician - although his main style was jazz, he experimented with pop and classical elements as well. There are even rumours that he played a stint as the organist for the local Triple A Hockey Team in Salem, Oregon.
