After leading the successful folk, rock, klezmer, funk 14-piece big band All Gods' Children (best band - Aquarian magazine - 93) for 6 years, Adam performed and/or recorded with many great musicians/dancers including Sahib Shihab, Perry Robinson, Walter Perkins, Teocinte (from El Salvador), The Angstones, Solar and Jennifer Muller/The Works.

Currently, Adam is working with the group Driver Quartet as a composer/arranger/bassist and is the jazz director at the Berkeley-Carroll School in Brooklyn, NY.

"The songs written by Bernstein resonate amongst those of us who are trapped in the concrete jungle. The memories of lost loves, unattained loves and desired loves flood all who listen with images of their own experience."
- Vos Valley News

"...original songs are the real finds here. In Bernstein songs like "Room For The New" and " Long way Down" one can hear the influence of albums like Nilsson Sings Newman and Sail Away.
- New York Press
