INSIGHT WITH BETH RUYAK
Sound Advice: The Evolution of Hipness

April 28, 2016 | Gary G. Vercelli
We travel to the Crocker Art Museum for this week’s Sound Advice with CapRadio's jazz music director Gary Vercelli.

General T.
Tony Adamo’s “hipspokenword” is supported here by outstanding musicians, including drummer Mike Clark (a Sacramento native) and pianist Michael Wolff. Adamo, who now lives in Reno, is obviously a native New Yorker. Here, you can feel the pulse of Manhattan seen through the eyes of a very hip individual. Adamo salutes General T, a jazz raconteur from a previous era.

A combination of Gil Scott Heron and Maynard G. Krebs — a bohemian wordsmith strongly influenced by Jack Kerouac and the ‘50s beat poets. Adamo’s fifth release features a crack all-star band playing hard bop behind the leader’s ultra-cool monologues, most of which are spoken and a couple, sung. All are laced with terms such as “hip,” “happenin’” and “dig it.” Adamo is like a beatnik who’s arrived 60 years late, but his music really swings and his words celebrate jazz as a kind of urban-life philosophy." - Ed Kopp-Jazziz/Magazine

It Was Just What It Is. Ya Dig??
DEXTRANE/Art Tony Adamo/
"There was a lot of dope around the music scene and a lot of musicians were deep into drug, especially heroin. People--musicians--were considered hip in some circles if they shot smack. Some of the younger guys like Dexter Gordon, Tadd Dameron, Art Blakey, J. J. Johnson, Sonny Rollins, Jackie McLean, and myself--all of us--started getting heavily into heroin around the same time. Despite the fact that Freddie Webster had died from some bad stuff. Besides Bird, Sonny Stitt, Bud Powell, Fats Navarro, Gene Ammons were all using heroin, not to mention Joe Guy and Billie Holiday, too.There were a lot of white musicians--Stan Getz, Gerry Mulligan, Red Rodney, and Chet Baker--who were also heavily into shooting drugs."
-Miles Davis in "Miles: the autobiography"
