“Pepper Adams Plays The Compositions of Charles Mingus" is a lesser-known jewel of an album recorded by the esteemed baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams in 1963 for Motown's subsidiary jazz label Workshop Jazz. Adams presents his delightful interpretations of Mingus' music in two different settings: Quintet with Thad Jones on trumpet, Hank Jones on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Dannie Richmond on drums; and Octet with Bob Cranshaw taking over bass duties plus the addition of Benny Powell on trombone, Charles McPerson on alto saxophone, and Zoot Sims on tenor saxophone. Highlights include unique versions of “Fables Of Faubus," “Song With Orange," “Better Git It In Your Soul," and “Haitian Fight Song."
BLUE NOTE TONE POET EDITION: Stereo, produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analogue master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a single sleeve with deluxe tip-on jacket.
