*****comment on "Pepper Adams Plays Mingus". This music is for "very serious" fans of Charles Mingus*****
Now we have, Pepper Adams meets the Rhythm Section??
It was very good. Listening to them back to back, put me into sensory overload. Aural memory is very fleeting. Esp if you don't know what 'nuts and bolts' to listen for.
I did Google and Wiki Adams. He had a very big time career. Played with the top people, which makes him one of the top people. I really wanted to find out why he, or anyone else for that matter, would choose to play the baritone sax. He went through everything from the trombone to the clarinet, and ended with the baritone.
I assume the Baritone is a lot harder to play, and carry around, without any benefit that I can see.
He, and the others, played with Mingus on many dates, so this was sort of like 'Mingus Minus Mingus'. But I enjoyed it. The Mingus clip was more brooding.
Cheers
