Since 2009, and with three outstanding albums, trumpet player extraordinaire Greg Adams has been building his East Bay Soul creation into what is now the preeminent horn driven collective of its era. This hugely talented line-up has its roots firmly grounded in the uniquely soul based genre of San Francisco’s East Bay area and as a consequence delivers tight horn filled rhythms that are entirely timeless. Earlier in 2018 year this founding member of the legendary Tower of Power was back doing it all again with ‘Conversation’.
It was an recording that garnered the single ‘Look Book’ for which Adams’ smoky horn has never sounded better and now the band is back on radio with the big, brassy but understated ‘Possibilities’. For those checking out East Bay Soul for the first time and wondering what the buzz is all about they need look no further than this.
East Bay Soul is Greg Adams (trumpet), Lee Thornburg (trumpet and trombone), Greg Vail (sax), Johnnie Bamont (sax), Nick Milo (keys), Kay-Ta Matsuno (guitar), Dwayne ‘Smitty’ Smith (bass), Herman Matthews (drums), Johnny Sandoval (percussion) and Darryl Walker (vocals).
