Welcome Don Adams To The NTUNED MixUp

Don Adams – once described as being “cool as a fan” is a New Jersey transplant who now resides in Nashville Tennessee.  He says he moved to Nashville because of the raw talent and musicianship he discovered while visiting there for a weekend to work on a CD project with a friend.  With the bass as his primary instrument, Don has accompanied an array of artists including: the late Charles Earland, the late Miles Davis, the late Billie Paul, Sarah Dash, Danny and the Juniors, Taylor Dane, Chaka Khan and Chico DeBarge to name a few. In more recent years Don has accompanied artist, including Gary Jenkins (Silk), Marion Meadows, Jakiem Joyner, Jeff Lorber, Joe Wooten, Jessy J, Alex Bugnon and Bobby Rush.

In December of 2003 Don founded the Don Adams Band based out of Nashville. The band is still one of the hottest tickets around. Also that year, Don received the Marion James Award as Nashville’s Bassist of the Year.

Lorenzo Washington, Producer and CEO of Jefferson Street Sound sought to revive the Jefferson Street music scene that had been relegated to history books, museum exhibits and stories told by those reminiscing the rhythm and blues, soul, rock and jazz music that emanated from the Nashville’s Jefferson Street scene.Washington turned to Don Adams to write, produce and record the label’s first full-length debut under the name the Don Adams Band.

The label’s first release is a collection of R&B-infused jazz songs by the Don Adams Band modestly titled “Caution: May Cause Passion.”

Adams describes the music on “Caution: May Cause Passion” released October 2013, as “borrowing elements from jazz, R&B and soul. We make the music and the listeners/fans decided whether it is good or not.” Music is available through online retailers.
