JAZZ FROM HEAVEN…Tony Adamo: Angel Bop
by George W. Harris • September 28, 2020/JazzWeekly


Bay area vocalist Tony Adamo tells another jazz story in swinging Steinbeck fashion, this time from a heavenly viewpoint. Adamo sings out the role of an bebopping angel “in the heavens of my walk here on earth…digging on the new jazz”.

 With his late night dj of a voice, he’s backed by a mix of funk and snappy hip hop percussion’d grooves, coaxed on by guitar spicks by Chris Pimento that evoke tones from the cool strings of George Benson or Kenny Burrell. 

Melded together, the music and message puts jazz in an eternal perspective and makes you want to go there in the next life if the sounds there are this good. Manna from heaven!
