"True hipness is a most elusive substance, consistently
pursued, often pretended and rarely captured. But make no mistake, Tony
Adamo is HIP (capital letters demanded) in full evidence on his new
Urbanzone Records album Tony Adamo & The New York Crew. Now we’re not talking about some snap-brim fedora, hipster chic, cool attitude take on hipness – but the real deal.
We’re talking about Miles, Monk and Sonny trading fours after hours at
the Five Spot, with Frank and Dino knocking back Jack on the rocks while
Kerouac, Ferlinghetti, Lord Buckley and Lenny Bruce riff on the world’s
absurdity – that kind of hip.
On this knockout album, Tony and his Crew deliver what is
essentially eleven short films, each one painting a stunningly visual
portrait of a fascinating world and some of its most captivating and
compelling denizens. Driven on a soundtrack of explosively spirited and
utterly delightful music, the spectacularly imaginative screenplay is
depicted through a prism that Tony calls Vocal/HipSpokenWord."
