Station Updates For July 20th, 2007

This weeks Update includes songs from two recently released CD's.

The first is Tony Adamo's "Straight Up Deal". This new CD contains five songs whose horn arrangements were written by Tower of Power alumni Mic Gillette, who also performs on the CD. Tony also has former Tower members Skip Mesquite, and current member Doc Kupka. Additonally, Tony has added the talents of Paul van Wageningen, Eddie Henderson, Paul Jackson, and Rodney Franklin among others to this great new CD. The CD contains elements of R&B, Soul, and Jazz. Three songs from this CD have been added and are as follows:

  • Groove Therapy
  • Mercy, Mercy, Mercy
  • No Strings

You can puchase Tony's Music at the Itunes Store: www.Itunes.com


The second CD is from the Minneapolis based band BlowZone. The Cd is their self title effort "BLOWZONE". BlowZone is a band for people who like to think, feel, and move…all at the same time. Featuring a 5-piece horn section, this Minneapolis-St.Paul-based ensemble has often, and aptly, been described as “genre-bending”. With direct influences that include Miles Davis, Tower of Power, James Brown, Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, Jimmy Smith, Sly, and the Beatles, the band keeps “a foot in the history and an eye on the future.” BlowZone makes sure the fun stays on top of every groove. Enjoy the band's original songs as well as covers of Bobbie Gentry's "Ode To Billie Joe" and Joni Mitchell's "Helpless." The following three songs from this CD have been added this week:

  • Jimmy & Walter & Lee
  • Ode To Billie Joe
