In four decades of recording, Johnny Adams has won worldwide renown not only as one of New Orleans' legendary voices, but more recently as a swinging and incisive jazz singer. On The Verdict, his second album of jazz and jazz-tinged r&b, Johnny's vocals are showcased as never before in intimate, small ensemble settings. With accompaniment that ranges from solo piano of Harry Connick, Jr., to the acoustic duo of bassist James Singleton and guitarist Steve Masakowski, to a straight-ahead group featuring pianist David Torkanowsky and saxophonist Houston Person, Johnny sings this set of standards, rediscovered gems and new songs with feeling and unerring invention.
