i play the baritone sax... my grandfather bought a Martin Baritone in or before 1952, and i had it repaired and i play it now. i am in my senior year of high school and that saxophone helped me get into the all-new england elite concert band twice. Pepper Adams took the place of my grandfather in his jazz band in New York in 1956. I have written three jazz songs that my school's jazz band has played, and Pepper was and is definitely one of my greatest influences in composing.

Pepper is my favourite bari player. I have never seen what he looks or talks like before this. I think I now know why his wife ran off with his manager in Montreal, he looks like a real nerd! Does anyone else think he is blowing sharp? Pepper fan

Definetely sharp. What a musician, though. One for eternity.

C'mon, who cares what a cat or catess looks like (Hadjee). I heard Pepper at The Paper Moon in Rochester, New York, as I was sitting at the table with sax great (and Rochesterian)Joe RomaNO. This was back in the mid-80s. Adams was most likely one of the most swingin' of all the bop-players. Ronnie Cuber can light it up as well. I'm sure Pepper is still boppin' for the heavenly jazz gods!

it is kind of funny that such a harmless looking little guy would be such a murderer on his instrument. yeah, you have a good ear. he does seem to be playing a little sharp in spots on this tune. he sounds better on the other two clips from this show.
