Adam continues his musical evolution! As President of Music Montaj Inc., he’s been planning, changing and adjusting to find ways to propel this organization of very talented singers and musicians to the forefront of the music industry. Strides continue to be made, as he gains support from some very close friends and colleagues who believe in him and all he attempts to accomplish. A vital part of that will be relinquishing certain administrative duties of the company & focusing primarily on being the performance artist he’s always desired to be.
Being recognized for his accomplishments, Adam was recently elected to the Board of Governors of the Atlanta Chapter of the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (NARAS). As a member of the Chapter Board, Adam assists in the responsibilities of reflecting the changing trends, issues and needs of the NARAS membership and helping to address those needs. Also, at a time when NARAS is reaching out to the Independent Label community, this gives him a much better insight and access to avenues of an effective knowledge base and assistance in becoming a success in the music industry.
It is official...Atlanta now has its own jazz photography icon--The Jazz of the City Atlanta 2007! Presented by Jazz 91.9 WCLK-FM and featuring more than 100 metro Atlanta jazz musicians with Mayor Shirley Franklin, the unveiling of this momentous image marked a great day in Atlanta jazz history! Adam McKnight & William Green of Music Montaj Inc. both appear in this historic photo!
Similar to the iconic 1930’s jazz portrait-A Great Day in Harlem, The Jazz of the City Atlanta 2007 jazz portrait will be memorialized as postcards and posters. The portrait is available for purchase through Jazz 91.9's web site, WCLK (www.wclk.com).
On the creative side, Adam has recently spent some serious time with his muse, and is now writing new material for his next CD! Adam is working in the studio with Gerry Hanson, a top Atlanta producer probably best known with his work with Shawn Mullins. Both are excited with early results!!
