Now it is official. After a sensational campaign to raise the $25,000 necessary to record and release the album ‘East Bay Soul 2.0’, the funds are now in place, the artistic horsepower is ticking over nicely and Greg Adams is all set for his biggest adventure yet.
Recording is due to start in mid October at Big Surprise Studio in Encino, CA. Plans for the ‘East Bay Soul 2.0’ CD Release Party is also underway with the date and place scheduled to be revealed to backers on November 1. The formal press release will follow five days later.
Of course Greg Adams was the founding member of Tower of Power where his signature sound as performer and arranger made the Tower of Power horn section a sought out entity all it's own. Now, factor in Darryl Walker's powerful soul drenched vocals, add eight other world class artists and the result is a singular vision of instrumental funk, jazz and soul music brought to audiences in a fresh new way. This is new a movement in Urban Jazz; this is ‘East Bay Soul 2.0’.
