Pepper Adams: London, 1981

Reprinted from http://jazzwax.com

In the wake of my post on Mosaic Records' Complete Bee Hive Sessions and the email heat that followed from readers who were knocked out by the box's baritone sax sessions, let's end the week with Pepper Adams. As you'll soon see and hear, Adams was an unassuming killer on the instrument. Here he is in London in 1981:

Here's Dylan's Delight...

Here's A Child Is Born...

And here's Bossa Nouveau...

JazzWax tracks: Dig Pepper Adams? You'll find all of his compositions on Joy Road (The Complete Works of Pepper Adams) in different configurations here.
