about

Arthur Adams is perhaps one of the best jazz/blues guitarists no-one has heard of . Adams recorded the first of his seven solo albums It's Private Tonight in 1972. A recording that combines the complex rhythms of jazz with blues leads reminiscent of his friend B. B. King, while showcasing his sweet and soulful tenor voice (comparable to Aaron Neville), with lyrics and melodies that are solidly blues.
