Pepper Adams Quintet


Pepper Adams Quintet, is the debut album by baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams recorded in 1957 and originally released on the Mode label.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Ron Wynn states "Pepper Adams ranked among modern jazz's finest baritone saxophonists. His mastery of the middle and lower registers and technical acumen enabled him to play the physically cumbersome baritone with a speed, facility, and style usually restricted to smaller horns. This '57 quintet date featured him in a more relaxed context with West Coast jazz types".
