Tony Adamo - A Hit Record In the Air For Immediate Release UrbanZone Productions - Franki LaMantia
Knock, knock. Who's there? A hit record in the air. The inside buzz has started on Tony Adamo's new CD to be released in 2006. Record industry A&R executives have already been in contact with Adamo's producer, guitarist, Jerry Stucker about this new artist.
Neil Larsen, keyboardist extraordinaire (Diana Krall, B. B. King, Greg Allman) was in Los Angeles earlier this month recording tracks for singer/songwriter Tony Adamo's new CD release. Jerry Stucker oversaw the recording session. Earlier in the year, Neil recorded (organ) on two covers, Wine Light" and Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" to also be included on Adamo's new release. This session finds Larson again on organ for Adamo's Lolita" and Jerry Stucker/Mark Kaye's tune, Up In It." Lolita" is a Latin vocal groove that transcends today's Pop hook predictability and settles into a fusion of Smooth-Latin contemporary Pop vocals. Up In It" is a Funk vehicle just right for Adamo's voice. Jerry Stucker said of Larsen's playing, I was watching a master musician work at the top of his game."
Ready" Freddy Washington on bass (Aniya Baker, Al Jarreau, Gerald Albright) is part of the rhythm section for Up In It." James Gadson on drums comprises the other part. That's James you hear on Bill Withers, Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone," and Use Me." Jerry Stucker plays the lead and solo guitar on Up In It."
Mic Gillette, former lead trumpet for the legendary group, Tower of Power, wrote the horn arrangements for Lolita" and Up In It." Mic came up with horn arrangements for these songs that will be labeled instant classics. The harmonic vibe Neil Larsen lays down between Mic's horn arrangements and the rhythm section on these two cuts, are some of the most innovative riffs to be heard behind a singer in a long time.
Adamo's song Hey Lou" is the featured song on Paul Jackson's new CD release FUNK ON A STICK. Jackson was the former original bass player for Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters.
