| Description | A STROKELAND FIRST! DOWNLOAD THE NEW TONY ADAMO EXCLUSIVE PRE-RELEASE! For the first time ever, Strokeland Records is releasing the full version of a new song for download long before the CD is released. Tony Adamo's hot new remake of the classic Tower of Power hit "This Time It's Real" is available TODAY for download as an MP3 file. You can DOWNLOAD THE FULL SONG TODAY for $0.99 from right here on the Strokeland web site with no copy protection hassles. This smooth, funky arrangement by Jerry Stucker, covered by Strokeland Records artist Tony Adamo, was written by Tower of Power co-founders, Stephen 'Doc' Kupka and Emilio Castillo. Mic Gillette, who has arranged and recorded on six Adamo/Stucker songs, wrote a funk show-time arrangement for this new cover and laid down the brass. Tom E. Politizer of TOP was brought in for the lead solo, and Doc Kupka, the Funky Doctor himself, anchored the horn section. Adamo's smooth, sensuous vocals and a hot TOP horn section, along with a killer rhythm section make this song the sound of the summer. Tony Adamo Reviewed By L.A.Jazz Scene "Pop songs with R&B horns make Tony Adamo’s STRAIGHT UP DEAL sizzle with excitement. He sings with the bold character of a man who knows how to entertain, recalling pop singers Tom Jones, David Clayton-Thomas and Brook Benton as well as jazz singers Al Jarreau and Mark Murphy. His program, however, goes well beyond the pop and R&B arena into Jazz interpretations of standards such as 'Milestones', 'Mercy, Mercy, Mercy', 'Stolen Moments', '“In the WineLight', and 'Speak Low'." "The band, which includes horns with guitars, bass, keyboards and drums, gives Adamo a solid foundation from which he wails soulfully. Several guests help to make the session come alive: trumpeter Eddie Henderson, tenor saxophonist Ernie Watts, guitarist Jerry Stucker, baritone saxophonist Doc Kupka, and alto saxophonist Melecio Magdaluyo." "Adamo swings up front on 'Hey Lou' with persuasive jazz-talk, settles down for 'Autumn Leaves' with a straightforward ballad approach, curls up with ' Lolita' in a romantic way, croons 'Speak Low' with a delightful spin, cries 'Mercy, Mercy, Mercy' with funk dreams on his mind, and creates a lovely program rich in the jazz tradition and fun to be with." -- Jim Santella, L.A Jazz Scene |
