1	Urban Dreams (1981) more music like this by Pepper Adams It is a real pity that this session from baritonist Pepper Adams was for a now-defunct label for it is one of his best recordings. Adams, accompanied quite tastefully by pianist Jimmy Rowles, bassist George Mraz and drummer Billy Hart, sticks primarily to straightahead material and he often roars through such songs as "Dexter Rides Again," "Three ... see all copies from $10.23! new only from $10.23!
2	Pepper Adams Quintet (1957) more music like this by Pepper Adams Quintet Pepper Adams ranked among modern jazz's finest baritone saxophonists. His mastery of the middle and lower registers and technical acumen enabled him to play the cumbersome baritone with a speed, facility, and style usually restricted to smaller horns. This '57 quintet date featured him in a more relaxed context with West Coast jazz types like ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $11.27!
3	Julian (1975) more music like this by Pepper Adams Recorded five days before Julian "Cannonball" Adderley's death, the title cut of this album was retitled and dedicated to the late altoist.

4	Motor City Scene (1960) more music like this by Donald Byrd & Pepper Adams This 1994 CD reissue brings back a set that has sometimes been issued under baritonist Pepper Adams' name, most recently as an LP called Stardust.

5	Encounter! (1968) more music like this by Pepper Adams Baritonist Pepper Adams and tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims (who rarely performed together) make a surprisingly compatible team on this CD reissue of a 1968 Prestige session.

6	Critics' Choice (1957) more music like this by Pepper Adams Pepper Adams was one of the greatest jazz baritone saxophonists of all time. During a time when Gerry Mulligan's cool-toned baritone was very influential, Adams rose to prominence with a harder and bigger sound, much more hard bop than cool. This relatively obscure release, originally an LP for the World Pacific label, finds the baritonist in Los ... see all copies from $12.87! new only from $12.87!
7	Conjuration: Fat Tuesday's Session (1983) more music like this by Pepper Adams The great baritonist Pepper Adams is teamed up with the adventurous trumpeter Kenny Wheeler and veteran pianist Hank Jones for this live quintet date.

18 view cover	Plays Charlie Mingus (1963) more music like this by Pepper Adams Pepper Adams' Plays Charlie Mingus is a watershed album in Adams' long career.
