MusicDishTV Presents Tony Adamo's "Nine Miles Of Blu"

In his latest video and mp3 "Nine Miles of Blu," Tony Adamo runs the voodoo down with legendary drummer Mike Clark (yes the drummer who played with Herbie Hancock back in 1974 on Thrust), and references to being in the middle of a happening jazz scene, tipping his verse to Miles' and Coltrane's "Giant Steps". Guitarist Steve Holman lays down a solid comping on this jazz trio's post-bop, with Clark sparking the track with great rhythmic ideas.

The esteemed Clark also produced "Nine Miles of Blue," in which Adamo pays a verbal homage to Dizzie Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, and other widely recognized jazz masters who led the way for the music we have today. Using cleverly smooth but complex combinations of jazz melodies, this track is a funky, jazzy, get in your face groove that, at first play, makes you feel like you're sitting in a great jazz club

Hey, Tony.
I was glad to give it a feature date. I'm always looking to feature
something a little different, and having a spoken word dialog
accompanying the jazz fit the bill. I think your track was a cool
addition to the AAJ Download of the Day canvas, and based on the results, it appears
that AAJ readers/listeners agree.

Cheers.

Singer/Hip Spokenword artist Tony Adamo has gone to the top of the charts at allaboutjazz.com with his new conception on vocal/spokenword song “9 Miles of Blu.” “9 Miles of Blu” was produced by legendary drummer Mike Clark formerly of Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters. ”9 Miles of Blu” has been at #1 on the allaboutjazz.com charts for the last ten days. Adamo’s remake of the Tower of Power classic “What is Hip” is at #22 in the top 50 most downloaded songs on allaboutjazz.com charts for top songs for 2011.
The esteemed Clark is also on board as producer for Adamo’s unreleased CD, “9 MILES OF BLU,” in which Tony Adamo pays a verbal homage to Dizzie Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, and other widely recognized jazz masters who led the way for the music we enjoy today. “There is energy and honor and wonder in Adamo’s words, especially in the fluid alliterative syncopated way the words reflect the inspiration that jazz gave him. Using cleverly smooth but complex combinations of jazz melodies, “9 Miles of Blu” is a funky, jazzy get in your face groove. Complementing Adamo’s nimble vocals are Mike Clark and guitarist Steve Homan, both of whose equally homage-ist beats and licks, respectively, are hip clean and entirely their own.” Devon Jackson, Rolling Stone & Village Voice
