• Pepper Adams made these recordings in 1957, the year Down Beat jazz critics chose him as the New Star of baritone sax, and the year he began to get a nationwide reputation. The firmness of his tone, the ease of his technique, his flow of ideas and their execution are always impressive.

• The fine line-up of personnel also includes : Sonny Redd (as), Bernard McKinney (euphonium), Wynton Kelly, Hank Jones (p), Doug Watkins, George Duvivier (b), Elvin Jones (d).

• A self-styled pre-bop era player, Pepper Adams, a product of the Motor City scene, was keenly aware of the importance of having musical roots in the past. He readily confessed to the influence of Harry Carney.

• These sessions were recorded in Hackensack, New Jersey, and originally released on the Regent label.
