‘Sonic Henderson’ By Tony Adamo
Tony Adamo And The NY Commission/Release March 2017
About The Great Joe Henderson Tony Adamo Lyrics/Hipspokenword/ Mike Clark Drums/ Mike LeDonne Organ. Jack Wilkins Guitar/Produced By Drummer Mike Clark vocalist/trip-bop spokenword harkens back to a day that, for most modern listeners, never was: a time in the 50s and 60s when a small but influential cast of artists in jazz, poetry and movies oozed a dangerous, irresistible force that men admired and women wanted. The Rat Pack sort of had it, but for each Sinatra or Martin, there were hundreds of underground artists who lived more dangerously and closer to their creative edge. With jazz as the centerpiece, Adamo effortlessly visits this universe (“Just ride your thought on that groove…are you with me?”) where performers are “cats” that their fans “dig” or even “double dig”; where hipster artists “swing” with the beat, and music is a near religious experience for those immersed naturally or through chemical” —SOULTRACKS
