Greg Adams

The horn arrangements that Greg Adams created for Tower of Power has made him one of the ultimate musicians’ musicians – everyone from the Rolling Stones to Paul Schaffer to Madonna has called on him to contribute to their projects. But it was with Greg Adams’ 1995 solo debut, Hidden Agenda (Epic), which went all the way to #1 on the smooth jazz charts, that Adams finally became as well recognized outside the studio as he is in it.

Adams is well known for his session work with artists and movie scores that read like the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame alumni list including Lyle Lovett, Elton John, Boz Scaggs, Quincy Jones, Bobby McFerrin, and Neil Diamond, as well as with countless other new and international artists including Everclear and Japanese pop sensation Dreams Come True.

Adams, as a Grammy®- and Emmy®- nominated artist, has been ubiquitous all over the pop culture landscape for nearly four decades. You’ve heard his contributions in the opening theme of “The Late Show” with David Letterman and on musical score arrangements for such films as Duets, Mask, Little Big League and Top Gun. Santana, Linda Ronstadt, Huey Lewis (Remember the horns on Fore? That’s Greg Adams), Luther Vandross, the Eurythmics, Bonnie Raitt, B.B. King, Enrique Iglesias, and even his hometown baseball team, the San Francisco Giants, have all tapped him to arrange music.
