Wolff & Clark Expedition Random Act records

Wolff & Clark Expedition Random Act records Random Act Records never fails to disappoint and the latest/debut release from Michael Wolff and Mike Clark which streets 02/19/13 is certainly no exception. If Michael Wolff sounds familiar it may be from his stint as the musical director for the Arsenio Hall show. Mike Clark is a drummer that is beyond reproach and a case could easily be made that he could be one of the best along with Jeff "Tain" Watts working today. Clark rose to prominence with Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters only to have his beats sampled by countless hip-hop and rap acts. Clark works as a clinician and has published numerous method books inspiring the new breed of modern jazz players by working with such luminaries as Donald Harrison, Wallace Roney and Randy Brecker. http://randomactrecords.com/wolff-a http://speakeasy.jazzcorner.com/speakeasy/showthread.php?31679-Wolff-amp-Clark-Expedition-Random-Act-records

TONY ADAMO Gil-Scott Heron Mark Murphy Jack Kerouac

Website: http://randomactrecords.com/ On his latest effort, and debut recording for Random Act Records, TONY ADAMO has created a unique genre: “HipSpokenWord.” Built on the wisdom of musical wizards like Gil-Scott Heron, Mark Murphy, Jack Kerouac and hip/hop master rappers, Tony speaks the Truth through his poetic musings. With preeminent players like producer Mike Clark (drums), Richie Goods (bass), Delbert Bump (organ), Michael Wolff (piano), Bill Summers (percussion) and Tim Ouimette, Rob Dixon, Derek Gardner and even Tower of Power's own physician of the funk, Stephen "Doc" Kupka. This release will turn heads and blow minds: Tales of travails and triumphs, told in the hippest of ways! Tony speaks/sings his way through the urban landscapes of Jazz, Funk and Soul. From the title track “Miles of Blu,” a nod to the dark prince of Jazz, to “JB,” an homage to the Godfather of Soul, to a down-home “BBQ” and asking “America R We Free,” Tony tells it like it is in his own mesmerizing manner. The Grooves are infectious, the moods evocative, the music sizzling and the words – HIP! “MILES OF BLU” takes listeners on a swinging journey, culminating in a funky good time!

Random Act Records Presents Tony Adamo produced by Mike Clark

Tony Adamo Mike Clark Jeff Berlin Random Act Records

A music review in the December issue of JazzTimes on the Scott Henderson/Jeff Berlin/ Dennis Chambers new CD,HBC on (Tone Center Records) One cut in particular that stands out in the review is Herbie Hancock's "Actual Proof." And how HBC interprets that song. Dig it on the serious side. If you want to get hip the the original. Then open up your ears to Mike Clark's performance on Hancock's album Thrust (1974), and particularly the song "Actual Proof", is often cited as one of the finest examples of the linear funk style of drumming. Mike Clark, Jeff Berlin and Tony Adamo have music coming out on Scott Elias's Random Act Records.

A recent review of one of Adamo’s new songs from his upcoming release, MILES OF BLU on RAR states: “Adamo reaches into the pre-rap turf of Gil Scott-Heron here with this seductive too-short flash memoir about how he discovered jazz and its legendary envelope pushers – Dizzy Gillespie, Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, and Miles Davis. There’s energy and honor and wonder in Adamo’s words, especially in the fluid alliterative syncopated way the words reflect the inspiration that jazz gave him as an artist, as a human being.” Devon Jackson, Village Voice Rolling Stone and Details Legendary drummer, Mike Clark is the producer on Tony Adamo’s hi-voltage vocals and Nu-Jazz Funk/Hipspokenword dialogue on MILES OF BLU Cd. So, can you dig it? Funk, bop, rock ‘til ya drop! Random Act Record artists are at the top. Frank Black, A DoubleLeft Hook PR Gig, NYC,
