Capital Jazz Society: Adams and Cooley Rat Pack Jazz

The Capital Jazz Society's First Friday Series welcomes Adams and Cooley Rat Pack Jazz. Playing music from the golden era of song, Jon Adams and Ron Cooley have worked together musically for many years, though they have known each other even longer, growing up in the same neighborhood in Omaha, Nebraska. When these two longtime friends and collaborators work together, their professionalism and chemistry bring out their best in every performance. Johnny Adams' time is spent in many facets of the music business. He operates a Nashville-based publishing company, works as a production staff director for recording artist Chip Davis & Mannheim Steam Roller, and his skills as a songwriter have been employed by entities ranging from local business owners to national recording artists. He can also be found doing commercial studio singing and appearing in television commercials. For Ron Cooley, writing and playing music are second nature. He is an in-demand solo performer who has recorded six solo projects, and has contributed his talents as a fretted instrument specialist for Chip Davis & Mannheim Steamroller for many years. Whether on a concert stage, in a recording studio, or anywhere in the world, he is considered one of the best.
