Singer/Hip Spokenword artist Tony Adamo has gone to the top of the
charts at allaboutjazz.com with his new conception on vocal/spokenword
song “9 Miles of Blu.” “9 Miles of Blu” was produced by legendary
drummer Mike Clark formerly of Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters. ”9
Miles of Blu” has been at #1 on the allaboutjazz.com charts for the
last ten days. Adamo’s remake of the Tower of Power classic “What is
Hip” is at #22 in the top 50 most downloaded songs on allaboutjazz.com
charts for top songs for 2011.

The esteemed Clark is also on board as producer for Adamo’s unreleased
CD, “9 MILES OF BLU,” in which Tony Adamo pays a verbal homage to
Dizzie Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, and other widely recognized jazz
masters who led the way for the music we enjoy today. “There is 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. Using cleverly smooth but complex combinations of jazz
melodies, “9 Miles of Blu” is a funky, jazzy get in your face groove.
Complementing Adamo’s nimble vocals are Mike Clark and guitarist Steve
Homan, both of whose equally homage-ist beats and licks, respectively,
are hip clean and entirely their own.” Devon Jackson, Rolling Stone &
Village Voice
