Tony Adamo’s Funky Jazz Is Feverish Kool

[Art Laurent]

The songs “Nine Miles of Blu” and “Qbafrica” have been trading spots
on the top 25 jazz charts at allaboutjazz.com for the last 150 days.
Tony Adamo’s “Nine Miles of Blu” is produced by legendary drummer,
Mike Clark, of Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters fame. “Nine Miles of
Blu” has not dropped out of the top ten in over 150 days and has gone
#1 three different times in three months. “Nine Miles of Blu” is
currently at # 4 with Alfredo Rodriguez’s song “Qbafrica,” produced by
the legendary producer Quincy Jones, at #3 on the top 25 jazz chart.
Alfredo Rodriguez more than lives up to all the hype on his Mack
Avenue Records debut. He has the chops, musicianship and jazz coolness
to go all the way.

Soul jazz artist/songwriter, Tony Adamo, was discovered by drummer
Mike Clark. Clark has been called “the most sampled drummer in hip
hop.” His beats have been used on tracks by musicians NWA, Grandmaster
Flash, Britney Spears, Prince, and many others. Mike Clark describes
Adamo’s original music as “Oaktown Funk and New York throw down meets
vocal/hipspokenword. So ladies and gents, dig these two new artists.
The groove is here.
