Happily, the sax-dominated smooth jazz genre now has three established trumpet
greats, all with unique and varied sensibilities — Rick Braun, Chris
Botti, and now Greg Adams, legendary for his performances and horn arrangements
with Tower of Power. While he hit the charts in 1995 with the number one album
Hidden Agenda (which spawned the still popular cover of Smooth Operator), his
busy TOP schedule precluded a second disc until 2002. Now that hes a
full-fledged solo artist, he can concentrate on the kind of magic he creates on
Firefly, easily one of the most eclectic and exciting genre discs of 2004.
Anyone concerned that hed endure a tough transition into solo stardom need worry
no longer. Tracks like the romantic Once Upon a Time capture the slow-burning
seduction of the Sade hit, but the real joys here are the feisty tunes that
sport the kinds of scorching horn charts Adams is famous for. The best of these
are the peppy and percussive, retro-soul-spiced title track; a moody and
atmospheric ride up the 5 North; the rolling-with-the-top-down, Herb Alpert-like
Time Is of the Essence (with Mark Hollingsworths alto blending into a lush
harmony with Adams horn); the gentle, swaying Not So Long Ago; and the all-out
party-hearty whirlwind Loco Motive, which out-TOPs TOP, if thats possible. Great
melodies and extreme pop hooks abound, but traditional jazz fans will also enjoy
the late-night closing track, Just Like Breathing, with its subtle synth bass,
brooding piano, and slight drum brushes. ~Jonathan Widran
