TOP Ten things overheard at band member 4th of July fishing trip:

by

10. I’ve got your pole right here.

9. If you do that dance barefoot in the water it will traumatize the fish.

8. No matter how hard you try, Catfish cannot be sucked in by a flugelhorn.

7. Paddling a canoe with a bass will cause it to make severe left turns.

6. Using fried Chicken as bait only works on East Bay women.

5. Don’t change Speedos in the middle of a stream either. (See # 9)

4. Be sure to keep your Organ dry.

3. A trout boat shouldn’t have a blown 350 V-8 Cadillac North star engine.

2. Popcorn, Beer and Cornuts are not 3 square meals.

1.A good band vacation would be not seeing your mug for a few months.

RIPA RECORDS TO RELEASE DEBUT ALBUM BY THE SOUL JAZZ FUNKPROJECT EAST BAY SOUL ON SEPTEMBER 22ND 2009
EAST BAY SOUL WAS PRODUCED BY GREG ADAMS, WHO HAS ALSO WORKED
WITH
ANNIE LENNOX, JOSH GROBAN, BRIAN CULBERTSON, AND CELINE DION
SEVERAL SONGS WERE CO-WRITTEN WITH NICK MILO- TOWER OF POWER
VOCALS BY TOM BOWES, DARRYL WALKER, SEAN HOLT AND LEE THORNBURG

June 30, 2009- Los Angeles, CA- Ripa Records will release East Bay Soul, the debut album from trumpeter producer Greg Adams’ project East Bay Soul, September 22nd, 2009. Adams, founding member of Tower of Power and legendary arranger, his signature sound made the Tower of Power horn section a sought out entity all it’s own. Greg has made an urbane, soulfuland lush recording that showcases his stylishly soulful arrangements. As a trumpet player, Adams alternates between a powerful open horn and sexy muted trumpet revealing the breadth and elegance he embodies.

The sound has it’s root’s in the uniquely soul based genre associated with the San Francisco East Bay Area. It is however, R&B for our time. Watch and hear this band and you will find yourself in front of the stage, and people will be moving with the music. The timeless quality of the East Bay Soul sound knows no age limits.

Emmy and Grammy nominated Adams co wrote several songs with Nick Milo, his former band mate from Tower of Power and now Music Director for Joe Cocker. The opening track “Survival of the Hippest” unfolds with the epitome of cool, it’s horn laden track swells with complete commitment before Tom Bowes delivers a rap that is almost biographical as the title implies.

Balancing the sultry and robust, the hopeful and the absolute. East Bay Soul excels on the west coast straight ahead “Bop Drop” that literally drops into “Reading Lips” jazz infused R&B soul drenched vocals of love in bloom.

Lee Thornburg emerges with his interpretation on Howard Tate’s 1960’s chestnut, “Stop”, and Adams’ arrangement is just what the song needed to bring the “full funk” of the track to life. Drawing on the inspirations of our times and awareness of new ideas, “iHope” asks the question of promise and possibilities, a message delivered with tremendous style by Darryl Walker. “Someone New” a stirring closing to the disc about emotional distances we must overcome to keep love alive and questions “Am I losing you?”

Adams trust and confidence in what he has designed, is what makes East Bay Soul so exciting. “It took this much time for me to get here and to finally make this kind of record. I always knew it would happen.”

East Bay Soul 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.

It’s East Bay Soul. It’s Got Soul!”

Tony Adamo’s New Strokeland Records Release
Fred E. Harris, Los Angeles, CA

The soul funk artistry of Strokeland recording artist Tony Adamo is about to hit the radio airwaves in the form of a previous hit song written by Tower of Power (TOP) co-founders Stephen “Doc” Kupka and Emilio Castillo. TOP members, Doc Kupka, Tom Politzer and returning member Mic Gillette add their funky horns to this cover song, another funk pop hit to be.

In keepin’ his ear to the street, guitarist/producer Jerry Stucker added R&B/Soul -legend drummer, James Gadson (Bill Withers, Herbie Hancock and Quincy Jones),The funked-out organist Neil Larson (Gregg Allman, B.B. King, Whitney Houston), and the soulful playing of Reggie McBride on bass (Stevie Wonder, Al Jarreau, Keb’Mo’).

Jim Santella of L.A. JAZZ SCENE MAGAZINE digs Adamo’s strong original style and says, “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.” With Tony Adamo’s smooth funk vocals, the triple threat of TOP horns and the rhythm section applying pressure to the groove, this song will be the sound of the summer.

HornDrivenRadio.com will be the first U.S. radio station to break this new MP3, “This Time it’s Real.”

Yes that’s right, we will be running this first. We will make an announcement when this song will hit the rotation.
