Review: Tony Adamo is a gifted jazz vocalist/songwriter, and his new CD release, DANCE OF LOVE, is a big winner in the smooth jazz and jazz vocals category. A wide listening audience of the jazz community will find this collection of original material both entertaining and enjoyable.

Tony Adamo has a fine singing voice, and at times, he sounds like British singer David Bowie. Tony Adamo is the David Bowie of the smooth jazz set, and Adamo has quite the unique voice.

There are 12 selections on DANCE OF LOVE. Some of the songs include "Ecstasy," "Hey Lou," "Rhythm Of Your Love," "When Love Comes Over You," "Live For Your Love," "Real Life," among others.

A nice change of pace is in store for the jazz listening audience with Tony Adamo's fine singing. DANCE OF LOVE is excellent entertainment.
