I remember catching Jonny Adams at the Worlds Fair (one of the wonder wall stages.) I was standing right behind Ellis Marsalis, who was telling his then teenage son Delfeayo "Check this cat out. He has a five octave range." My favorite Johnny Adams memory was hearing him face off with Bobby McFerrin an a cappella throw down at the 1983 Jazz Fest. He was great even when he was just phoning it in, but when he really got into it, he was transcendent.
