Press

“A masterpiece of work by Adam Dunning.”

— Gary Turner, Turner Media

“Adam shares the love of "Bossa Nova" with me,and more importantly, his own pretty playing and verve. Rare is it to find individuals who play from the heart and feel it from the soul. Such is this brother, Adam! Would love to hit that Land Down Under or South America to hear him and perhaps, play around with some tunes. Adam's music is melodic and this is what I find brilliantly appealing.... A kind and humble fellow adds to what he does, and what he is all about!”

— Brian Jet, Musician, Lexington, Kentucky

"Sunset Monkeys is a joyous celebration - true to the Brazilian tradition which takes you on a journey from light hearted beach frolicking into the depths of Amazonia, with songs of love, heart filled longing and profound awareness. The perfect summer CD!”

— Nichaud Fitzgibbon (Jazz vocalist)

"Take a trip to Rio - listen and be transported to a floating cloud of happiness"

— Steve Tuffill, British American fiction and screen writer

“While people like Bebel Gilberto have done great things subtly updating the classic bossa sound with all manner of electronic trickery, Dunning goes back to basics, making truly beautiful and seemingly effortlessly authentic music that sounds like it comes from another era entirely. And the guy sings like a young Tony Bennett. No shit.”

— Expletive Undeleted

"Dunning is known as the “Australioca” in Rio. Natives are aware of the Bossa in his blood."

— HypeTune.com

"Sunset Monkeys will be a popular inclusion on many MP3 devices this summer"

— Jason Innes, iTunes reviewer

"I'm knocked out by his CD! Sexy, summery bossa vibe. You gotta listen!"

— Carri Bella, Jazz Singer / Songwriter, Portland, Oregon

Very reminiscent of Antonio Carlos Jobim - The Godfather of The Bossa Nova. This style is what inspired me to learn the guitar - love it.
