   MusicDishTV Review: Tony Adamo Tribute T   
   26 Dec 16 09:32:22   
   
   This is not any jazz poetry - it is a poem tribute to JAZZ music. Spoken word   
   artist Tony Adamo has recently released his "Birth Of The Cool" video, with   
   Adamo himself showcasing his art-of-words with his spot on rhythmic with a   
   spin of his personal    
   style. Behind him, it plays the photo montage of the everlasting jazz legends:   
   Jimmy Smith, Brother Jack McDuff... in addition to clips of the good-old 50's   
   and 60's movies and photos, which brings one back to the sophisticated golden   
   age of jazz music.    
   As Adamo puts it, imagine everything you like about jazz, and "merge them into   
   a big fat giant chord" - that's what you would take away from his "Birth Of   
   The Cool" music video.   
      
   Born in San Francisco and with strong family ties to the Bronx and Brooklyn,   
   New York, spoken word veteran Tony Adamo formed a music alliance with the   
   legendary drummer, Mike Clark (Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters) and the   
   respected trumpet player Tim    
   Ouimette. This trio has come up with a fresh new sound in vocal/hip-spoken   
   word laced with a funk musical attitude. With the exception of only a handful   
   of traditional rap artists, most creative vocalists are lacking the substance   
   and stamina to put an    
   entire recording on their backs in an effort to either spread their message,   
   music or both. Tony Adamo makes it look effortless and with a virtual all star   
   line up he gains the freedom to let his imagination soar.
