A Man Called Adam

Profile:
From acid-jazz collective to mellow Ibizan house, A Man Called Adam have pursued much the same fusion of gentle jazz/house rhythms with classic pop songwriting despite the progression of stylistic identifiers used to describe their sound. Comprised mainly of Sally Rodgers and Steve Jones (3) but also Paul Daley, Peter Woolcott,... The group has not only courted the middle-aged coffee-table crowd with a sophisticated sense of pop songcraft, but also kept a close connection to the dance community, courtesy of their ownership of Other Records. A Man Called Adam's ethereal female vocals and inspirations from jazz as well as house make for easy comparisons with Everything But The Girl, though Rodgers and Jones gradually became more pop-slanted during the '90s.

Paul Daley is a former member and went on to form Leftfield.
Peter Woolcott is a former member and went on as Lacarno.

In a just world AMCA would be very famous indeed outselling the legions of the bland like Dido. Records like 'Estelle', 'Easter Song' and make the world a happier place but criminally only get major exposure when they are used as backing music for travel programmes - maybe its because the song are too fluid and dont follow the traditional verse-chorus-versus-chorus-middle 8-final chorus format. They are great live too...and having seen them twice at the Creamfields Festival I appear to have developed a...ahem...'thing' for Sally Rodgers *blush*

An excellent acid jazz/chillout/dance/house duo, A Man Called Adam is probably the best band that no one has ever heard of.
