Smooth Operator by Sade - the Trumpet version?

I heard on the radio a lovely sounding trumpet version of this wonderful song. I want it, but I don't know the details on it. Who played it and stuff. All help is appreciated.





PS, it sounded sorta kinda like a Miles Davis trumpet, with the special harmon mute. I don't know if it was really Miles Davis though.

Smooth Operator by Sade - the Trumpet version?
Greg Adams from the album Hidden Agenda. Yes, Greg Adams of Tower of Power fame played that song.


Here is his website: http://www.gregadamsmusic.com/ He did use a muted trumpet.





Greg's 1995 solo debut "Hidden Agenda," (Epic) went all the way to #1 for five weeks at the top of the Smooth Jazz charts. Fueled by Adams sublime muted Trumpet sound and a smoldering remake of Sade's "Smooth Operator," the album received wide critical acclaimed.
