Welcome to the official site of Lincoln Adler, jazz-funk-soul saxophonist, composer, and photographer.

Musically I strive to create a soulful, heart-felt mix of grooves and strong melodies ranging from sultry ballads to funky jazz with beats that put the dance in your bones.

Photographically the challenge is to delve beneath the surface and discover that place where the viewer and subject become one.

Please take some time and explore...I look forward to hearing from you.

peace,
Lincoln
