| TONY ADAMO | WAS OUT JAZZ ZONE MAD Tony Adamo's Nu Music On Ropeadope Records/"WAS OUT JAZZ ZONE MAD" Hits the streets 9/14/18. Nine songs produced by legendary drummer Mike Clark of Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters fame and four by Tony Adamo. Special guest on music release, Roger Smith of Tower of Power. TONY ADAMO | WAS OUT JAZZ ZONE MAD August 1, 2018 This cat takes some old school spoken word and makes it fresh - with a clear eye on the Jazz greats and no apologies. Tony Adamo has led a storied life, from the Navy to radio to acting to putting up billboards. When he met up with Mic Gillette and Skip Mesquite from Tower Of Power, he began recording and found a new groove: Free-flowing spoken word. Tony writes his words down and then does his piece on stage or in the studio, and the words are not the same. He has teamed up with Mike Clark for his new record, WAS OUT JAZZ ZONE MAD, due out on September 14th with a feature from Roger Smith. This is the poet as a band member - sometimes singing, sometimes beat poet, sometimes a radio presenter, all in synch with the madness of the music. It's like a sport, where the ball can go anywhere and the players move in earnest. When it's right, it's nothing but graceful. WAS OUT JAZZ ZONE MAD pays tribute to the greats, to the players behind him, and to the art of improvisation. write your comments about the article :: © 2018 Jazz News :: home page |
