Tony Adamo's Nu Ropeadope Cd Hits/9/14/18
"In 2016, where an always-connected generation screams for attention through new, often contrived definitions of “cool” and surprisingly predictable proclamations of uniqueness, singer and spoken word artist Tony Adamo arrives seemingly from nowhere as a true anachronism: a performer who is authentically “cool” in a timeless, almost reckless way that almost no popular artist today can match."

Tower Of Power Roger Smith And Tony Adamo..
Tower Of Power Roger Smith And Tony Adamo..
My Tower of Power (TOP) Connection goes back more than 20 years to a recording session in Dave Hartel’s studio in Half Moon Bay, California. Hartel was the organ player for Lydia Pense and Cold Blood at the time and brought in Mic Gillette and Skip Mesquite to lay down the horn tracks on one of my new songs. From that session Mic and became fast friends. He continued to write and play on the following horn arrangements to some of the songs that appeared on my early CDs: “No Strings,” “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy,” “Lolita,” “Up in It,” and “Groove Therapy.” Mic came up with another brilliant horn arrangement for “Groove Therapy.” I wrote this particular song with the funky doctor, “Doc Kupka” in mind. The rhythm section on this song includes Neil Larsen (organ), Ready Freddie Washington (bass), James Gadson (drums) with “Doc” on (bari sax) in the horn section. Doc suggested I do a cover of TOP's, "This Time It's Real." Mic wrote a new horn arrangement and played on this song along with "Doc" and Tom Politzer. Roger Smith, TOP’s great organ and keyboard player, and I had talked from time to time about working together. It finally happened in 2017 when Roger and I worked on “Rain Man Make it Rain Love my Way." Working with Roger on that song was one smooth ride made possible by his wide
smile and giving personality to me and the music. He brought in the highly talented young Kyron
"K-Frost" Kirby on drums. The little song that could, "Rain
Man Make it Rain Love my Way" is now at over 90,000 combinations of
downloads and views on the allaboutjazz web site. Roger produced the music and arrangement as
well as played funky organ and keyboards. He is the reason for the success of "Rain
Man." You will be able to dig that song on my upcoming Ropeadope record
release. My CD hits the street 9/14/18. Doc Kupka on his Strokeland Records
site sells the past music releases from Roger and I. I've been very lucky in my musical life to
bump up against the great players in Tower of Power and to call “Doc,” Mic,
Skip, Roger, and Tom my friends. Thank
you for digging the scene with me.

Funkin' At The Chicken Shack KUVO RADIO/Tony Adamo
"The standard rule of thumb would be that what is hip is best defined by the style of the time. After being the first critic to shed a much needed and well deserved light on his latest release Miles of Blu, Tony Adamo makes hippness a zen like state of mind. To paraphrase the great musical philosopher Frank Zappa, "You are what you is." Bop-n-Jazz

TONY ADAMO
“Where an always-connected generation screams for attention through new, often contrived definitions of “cool” and surprisingly predictable proclamations of uniqueness, singer and spoken word artist Tony Adamo arrives seemingly from nowhere as a true anachronism: a performer who is authentically “cool” in a timeless, almost reckless way that almost no popular artist today can match. Adamo harkens back to a day that, for most modern listeners, never was: a time in the 50s and 60s when a small but influential cast of artists in jazz, poetry and movies oozed a dangerous, irresistible force that men admired and women wanted.” SOUL TRACKS
