Pepper Adams - Julian (1975)



Recorded five days before Julian "Cannonball" Adderley's death, the title cut of this album was retitled and dedicated to the late altoist. The powerful baritonist Pepper Adams is well showcased with a quartet comprised of pianist Walter Norris, bassist George Mraz and drummer Makaya Ntshoko on three of his originals, one by Norris and two ("Three And One" and "'Tis") by Thad Jones. Adams is in typically excellent form, playing intense solos that push but stay within the boundaries of hard bop. AMG

01 - Jirge
02 - Julian
03 - Spacemaker
04 - Ad Astra
05 - Three and One
06 - Tis
07 - Time on My Hand
08 - Lady Luck
