Manage episode 443189210 series 3551386
Saxophonist Park “Pepper” Adams (born Oct 8, 1930) was one of many jazz greats to emerge from the fertile jazz scene of Detroit, Michigan in the 1940s-50s. He was known for his fiery technical abilities and big sound on the cumbersome baritone saxophone. He recorded prolifically with just about everyone on the NYC jazz scene after he relocated there in the late 1950’s, and his unique voice as a jazz composer can be heard on full display on the 18 recordings he made as a leader throughout his career.
