• Featuring: Pepper Adams (bs), Thad Jones (tp), Bennie Powell (tb), Charles McPherson (as), Zoot Sims (ts), Hank Jones (p), Paul Chambers, Bob Cranshaw (b), Danny Richmond (d)

• Recorded in New York in September 1963, these tunes constitute an outstanding cross-section of passionate, unconfined jazz that runs from the blues, through ballads, and swing tunes on to more experimental sounds.

• Under the leadership of baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams, who assembled a group of outstanding jazzmen, the playing is strong, driven by intense, creative responses to these emotionally and, at times, politically-charged Mingus compositions.

Reviews

Jazzwise - Roy Carr

One definitely worthy of investigation. ****

Jazz Journal - Graham Colombe

if you like the idea of teaming Adams with Thad Jones this is worth investigating.
