Music from two soon to be released CD’s and Updated Playlist….

by

In this weeks rotation we have added songs from two different bands, both recording covers of classic Tower Of Power songs.  The first is a song from the “Mic Gillette Band” (MGB), which plays a very different version of “So Very Hard To Go” and features Mic’s daugther Megan on vocals.  Also a member of MGB, is former Tower Of Power alumni, and current Doobie Brothers member Marc Russo.  The CD is currently scheduled for release in December of this year, and is currently titled “Moondoggie”.  By the way you can catch Mic on the road with Tower Of Power as he has rejoined the band.  For more information on the Mic Gillette Band go to www.micgilletteband.com.
The second song is from the band “ReUnion” (from the central valley of California) and is the “TOP” favorite “Willing To Learn”.  ReUnion will be realeasing their first CD (currently untitled) sometime in early 2010 and it will have music from Tower Of Power, Cold Blood, plus originals.  We understand that Mic Gillette will be a guest artist on the CD as well.  For more information on the ReUnion band please go to www.soulfunk4u.com.
We are also glad to have back in our rotation the new TOP cover song from Tony Adamo “This Time It’s Real”.  Tony’s music can be found at www.strokeland.com.  Lastly, we are continuing to play three songs from Greg Adams new project “East Bay Soul“.

Featured Artist Greg Adams and Updated Playlist

by

This Weeks Featured Artist on HornDrivenRadio.com is Greg Adams. We are featuring nine songs covering Greg’s career. There are three songs from his time with “Tower of Power” “Cruise Control”, “Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride”, and “Vuela Por Noche”. We also have three songs covering Greg’s solo carrer which are “Hidden Agenda”, “Felix The Cat”, and “’Sup With That”. And finally three songs from his newest project “East Bay Soul.” “iHope”, “Jump Shout, & Holler” and “Survival Of The Hippest”.

About Greg: “Greg Adams’ career has included success as an arranger, composer, conductor, and performer and earned him both Grammy and Emmy nominations and an International Broadcasting Award from The Hollywood Radio and Television Society. It has been a musical travelogue that has spanned nearly four decades, taking him on worldwide tours and contributing to some of the most important recordings in pop culture.”
“Legendary for the horn arrangements that created the signature sound and have made Tower of Power one of the most enduring musical entities today, Adams is a founding member of Tower of Power recording fourteen albums with the group on four major labels and millions in record sales. Greg has arranged for, performed and recorded with countless artists as diverse as his career, including The Eurythmics, Rod Stewart, Elton John, Lyle Lovett, Phish, Linda Ronstadt, Luther Vandross, Little Feat, Aaron Neville, Santana, Everclear, Quincy Jones, Huey Lewis and the News, Wilson Pickett, Heart, Josh Groban, Bonnie Raitt, Dionne Warwick, Madonna and The Rolling Stones.”
“His 1995 solo debut, Hidden Agenda, went all the way to #1 for five weeks at the top of the Smooth Jazz charts, fueled by Adams sublime muted trumpet and a smoldering remake of Sade’s “Smooth Operator.” The album received wide critical acclaim and established him as a major architect of the emerging “smooth jazz” sound. Greg took a break from his session schedule and released the much anticipated 2002 follow-up album, Midnight Morning, generating two top ten singles, “Roadhouse” and “Sup with That.” Adams’ third solo project FireFly, released in 2004, was among the top 100 honored at NAC radio in 2005. With his fourth solo disc, Cool To The Touch, Adams captures magic on nine original tracks and a classic remake in tribute to Sting’s smash hit “If I Ever Lose My Faith In You.”
“East Bay Soul” Greg’s newest project, ”will remind you of what you loved about music, creating an all new “Metro Jazz”, really a new approach of a melting pot of contemporary urban rhythm and a music combining all the sounds from the city. The ethnic sounds of the trials and tribulations, the hard fought, the victories, sweetness and sadness. It comes through in the music in all forms. It’s world, it’s metro, it’s edgy, it’s urban”.
