• At the beginning of 1956 Pepper Adams was virtually unknown to jazz audiences but the following year, after exposure with Stan Kenton's band, he won the Downbeat critics' poll New Star award for baritone sax.

• Adams' fiery, incisive style was the antithesis of the more famous Gerry Mulligan's floating tones as can be heard here on his first two LPs: "Pepper Adams Quintet" with Stu Williamson (trumpet), Carl Perkins (piano) Leroy Vinnegar (bass), Mel Lewis (drums) and (Critics' Choice) with Lee Katzman (trumpet), Jimmy Rowles (piano), Doug Watkins (bass) and Mel Lewis once again on the drums.
