Tony Adamo & Mike Clark’s New Vibes - Just Too Kool

[Art Laurent]

Mike Clark, legendary drummer and former member of Herbie Hancock’s
Headhunters band, can now add another name to his illustrious music
career as the Funk Wizard of Manhattan. In addition to producing his
new discovery, singer/nu-hip spoken word artist Tony Adamo’s CD, he
had to bring in the right mixer/engineer who could funk the tracks for
Adamo’s groove vocabulary and triplet soul-jazz voicings. Clark was
looking for a mixing fool of an engineer who could dig the new
perspective on the nu-hip speak vocals that he and Adamo are puttin’
down. That engineer is Tim Ouimette, a hip to the bone musician /
composer who has played or written for Ray Charles, The 4 Tops, The
Temptations, Blood Sweat and Tears and Aretha Franklin. In addition,
Ouimette has composed music for TV, Cable and commercials. Nuff said!
Now let’s get down with the new musical zounds of Tony Adamo and Mike
Clark.
