A Tony Adamo Endorsement!

"Mike Clark/Legendary Drummer from Herbie Hancock & The Headhunters Says This About Tony Adamo."Tony Adamo is one of the more interesting artists that I have worked with in years. His deep blues, Oakland style funk and jazz roots are locked in at a deep emotional level. In the tradition of Kerouac, Mark Murphy and Gil Scott, Tony is today's vocal spoken word artist." Tony Adamo will be recording in New Orleans with the Headhunters in the next few months. Bill Summers and Mike Clark will produce Adamo's new music and CD
