"Tony Adamo's "Sun-Ra Rockets To Mars" has a more ambient vibe and spatial integrity reinforced by the relentless groove of producer Mike Clark of Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters fame."@CriticalJazz

The second track "Listen Here Listen Up" is a blues infused jazz nasty to blow your mind and feed your soul! This tune is as cool as the other side of pillow! This is pure acid funk, Adamo welcomes you to a new sound, his sound with a band that takes in the pocket to the next dimension of groove. Straight up, there is not another vocal artist covering this territory and I am at a loss to think of another that could with this kind of authenticity. Tony Adamo is the real deal!

As a critical mercenary it is my job to hip you to the best of what is available or in this case what is coming! Christmas doesn't end on December 25th fellow babies, Tony Adamo is bringing you a little something the first of the year!

Listen Here Listen Up

"Gale Blowin' High" a lyrical biography of the great Eddie Gale. Take an opening subtle samba groove and free your mind as the syncopated swing moves to an Afro-Gospel sound that no one can touch. This is the kick off for a Nu music revolution for all people! The band speaks for itself with names including the legendary drummer from the Headhunters Mike Clark along with Lenny White and Michael Wolff but make no mistake, all the musical co-conspirators are bringing it!

 Tony Adamo's 'Hey Lou' Remixed/by Jerry Stucker
A true cornucopia of coolness in each genre. I first became quite interested in Adamo's talents after hearing his croonings with funkster/former Herbie Hancock Head Hunter bassist Paul Jackson on "Hey Lou." Impressive is an understatement. His stylish and signature vibrato-tinged voice adds a truly﻿ bright dimension to all he endeavors to set to song. With Mike Clark, Bill Summers,Rodney Franklin and Erine Watts.
