“Here you can listen to a disc that represents musical trends more advanced in jazz today. The stories of Tony Adamo the singer in his unmistakable vocal/ hip/spoken words are something special. A genre with roots in the beat of Jack Kerouac and engravings in Mark Murphy and Gil Scott Heron. What, however ago him and projected into the future, brilliant in creating the urban atmospheres together with acoustic instruments played by the musicians that have made the history of music fusion. To produce the disk in fact is Mike Clark, the drummer in the years '70 with the Headhunters of Herbie Hancock, with him there are Michael Wolff at the piano, and Richie Goods on bass and Bill Summers to percussion. There are also the sax alto of Donald Harrison, the trumpet of Tim Ouinette, but not on all tracks. On the opening, a story about the trumpeter Eddie Gale, there is Lenny White to sit behind the battery. There are eleven stories that Adamo tells the background that provides him a band of jazz simply fantastic in which the rhythms of the battery of Clark are an engine that emanates energy without stopping. Also the other musicians of course recite their part, incredible solos of horns, a Donald Harrison in splendid form the sax alto and Tim Ouinette (for years with o Ray Charles) on trumpet. Everything would still be confined within the framework of a great disk of jazz if it were not for the spoken words of Adamo, for the stories that range from a jazz musician to the other and to the nights in clubs. Behind his way of expressing himself there is a attitude that represents the New York contemporary and that puts the listener, for the rhythm, the music, but also for the words is that with Adamo tells, in contact with this world.”
