Jazz Weekly Reviews Tony Adamo's 'Better Than Picasso At Midnite'
Well, the blue-jeaned, floppy hat-wearing singing street preacher Tony Adamo is back with a new upcoming album. Here’s the first single from it, Better Than Picasso At Midnite, which is essentially polishing, refurbishing, new engine adding remake of the classic “Better Than Anything” and machine shopped, chopped, and hopped by Tony A.
The original lyrics are weaved into a new stream of consciousness ones which include references and rhymes ranging from George Benson to Superfly. The music itself is a mix of CTI soul with a dash of disco, tasty Breezin’ guitar licks with a mix of wacka wooka by Chris Pimentel, Turrentine toned tenor treats from saxophonist Rob Sudduth and Crusading keys and beats from programmer Barry Schiffman. No one delivers street corner synchronized sermons like Tony A.
Start passing the plate!
