Park "Pepper" Adams III, Baritone Sax solo starts at 2:42 min.
Already in the late-1950s, Stan Kenton had an appropriate nickname for the baritone beast:
"The Knife."
Pepper Adams and Nick Brignola were indisputably, unquestionably the two greatest bari sax players ever.
No other baritonist has ever come close.
(Frank Basile, keep practicing)
Pepper Adams did his best work in the 1970-1980 period. Recommeded Pepper Adams albums/CDs from this decade: "Ephemera", "Reflectory", "Be Bop?" [with Barry Altschul], "Baritone Madness" [Nick Brignola], "The Master", "One For Bird" [Bishop Norman Williams], "Twelfth & Pingree", "New Life" [Thad Jones/Mel Lewis], "Julian", "Four On The Outside" [Curtis Fuller], "Live in Europe", "Live Jazz By the Sea", just to name a few...
"Urban Dreams" (1981) is also phenomenal, but it's a great pity he used a crappy new mouthpiece (and his new sax) during this recording (he promply discarded the piece-of-junk mouthpiece for another one that improved the sound quality, although it was never as good as the old Berg Larsen he had acquired in the late 1940s -- the one you see in the above video).
Pepper Adams considered "Reflectory" (1978) and "The Master" (1980) his two best albums. [and rightly so]
Gary Carner's website (http://www.PepperAdams.com) is a must for all Pepper Adams and baritone sax fans.
No "Yakety Sax"...

Sound clip and info from http://www.pepperadams.com/
On September 28, 1969 the Thad Jones-Pepper Adams Quintet was scheduled to appear at the Famous Ballroom in Baltimore, sponsored by the Left Bank Jazz Society, a venue musicians loved because of its all-black, very appreciative audience. Unfortunately, Thad Jones bowed out, getting, as a trumpet sub from the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra, Richard Willliams to appear in his place. Adams and the superb rhythm section of Duke Pearson, Richard Davis, and Mel Lewis, however, are on full display.
Only five tunes survive from this private tape. By far the most memorable is Billie's Bounce, in which Adams plays quite possibly the most harmonically daring solo of his career!
Duke Pearson was always a remarkable accompanist, and, on this excerpt, he's extremely interactive and fully understands where Adams is traveling. Mel Lewis, for his part, plays those trademark loping lines, and bass drum accents, swirling around the beat. Such a buoyant foundation allows Adams to be very playful and build motivic solos at his whim. Adams' wailing, dissonant lines begin in Chorus 2, and build throughout this experimental solo, climaxing in the third-to-last and penultimate solo choruses, beginning at the 6:19 mark. Notice also Adams' brilliant sense of architecture, in the way that he takes his opening motive from Chorus 1 and concludes with it.

Park Frederick "Pepper" Adams III (October 8, 1930 – September 10, 1986) was a jazz baritone saxophonist and composer. He composed 43 pieces, was the leader on eighteen albums spanning 28 years, and participated in 600 sessions as a sideman.
Pepper Adams was born in Highland Park, Michigan. His family moved to Rochester, New York, when he was young, and in that city he began his musical efforts on tenor sax and clarinet. At age 16, Adams moved to Detroit and switched to baritone sax; this proved to be successful, as by 1947 he was playing in Lucky Thompson's band. In Detroit, Adams also met several jazz musicians who would become future partners, including trumpeter Donald Byrd. Adams now became interested in Wardell Gray's approach to the saxophone, later naming Gray and Harry Carney as his influences. He also spent time in a United States Army band, and briefly had a tour of duty in Korea.
He later moved to New York City, where he played on the album Dakar with John Coltrane, played with Lee Morgan on The Cooker, and briefly worked with Benny Goodman's band in 1958. During this time, Adams also began working with Charles Mingus, performing on one of Mingus's most acclaimed albums from the period, Blues & Roots. Thereafter, he recorded with Mingus sporadically until the latter's death in 1979. He later became a founding member of the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Big Band, with whom he played from 1965 to 1976, and thereafter continued to record Jones's compositions on many of his own albums. Adams also co-led a quintet with Donald Byrd from 1958 to 1962, with whom he recorded a live date, 10 to 4 at the 5 Spot, featuring Elvin Jones, and a sequence of albums for Blue Note.

Charles Parker, Jr. (August 29, 1920 – March 12, 1955), also known as Yardbird and Bird, was an American jazz saxophonist and composer.
Parker acquired the nickname "Yardbird" early in his career and the shortened form, "Bird", which continued to be used for the rest of his life, inspiring the titles of a number of Parker compositions, such as "Yardbird Suite", "Ornithology", "Bird Gets the Worm", and "Bird of Paradise."
Parker was a highly influential jazz soloist and a leading figure in the development of bebop, a form of jazz characterized by fast tempos, virtuosic technique, and improvisation. Parker introduced revolutionary harmonic ideas, including rapidly passing chords, new variants of altered chords, and chord substitutions. His tone ranged from clean and penetrating to sweet and somber. Many Parker recordings demonstrate virtuosic technique and complex melodic lines, combining jazz with other musical genres, including blues, Latin, and classical.
Parker was an icon for the hipster subculture and later the Beat Generation, personifying the jazz musician as an uncompromising artist and intellectual, rather than an entertainer.

Lionel Leo Hampton (April 20, 1908 – August 31, 2002) was an American jazz vibraphonist, pianist, percussionist, bandleader and actor. Like Red Norvo, he was one of the first jazz vibraphone players. Hampton ranks among the great names in jazz history, having worked with a who's who of jazz musicians, from Benny Goodman and Buddy Rich to Charlie Parker and Quincy Jones. In 1992, he was inducted into the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame.
Lionel Hampton was born in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1908, and was raised by his grandmother. Shortly after he was born, he and his mother moved to her hometown Birmingham, Alabama. He spent his early childhood in Kenosha, Wisconsin before he and his family moved to Chicago, Illinois in 1916. As a youth, Hampton was a member of the Bud Billiken Club, an alternative to the Boy Scouts of America, which was off limits because of racial segregation. During the 1920s—while still a teenager—Hampton took xylophone lessons from Jimmy Bertrand and started playing drums. Hampton was raised Roman Catholic, and started out playing fife and drum at the Holy Rosary Academy near Chicago.

"Urban Dreams" (1981) is also phenomenal, but it's a great pity he used a crappy new mouthpiece (and his new sax) during this recording (he promply discarded the piece-of-junk mouthpiece for another one that improved the sound quality, although it was never as good as the old Berg Larsen he had acquired in the late 1940s -- the one you see in the above video).
Pepper Adams considered "Reflectory" (1978) and "The Master" (1980) his two best albums. [and rightly so]

Sound clip and info from http://www.pepperadams.com/
On September 28, 1969 the Thad Jones-Pepper Adams Quintet was scheduled to appear at the Famous Ballroom in Baltimore, sponsored by the Left Bank Jazz Society, a venue musicians loved because of its all-black, very appreciative audience. Unfortunately, Thad Jones bowed out, getting, as a trumpet sub from the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra, Richard Willliams to appear in his place. Adams and the superb rhythm section of Duke Pearson, Richard Davis, and Mel Lewis, however, are on full display.
Only five tunes survive from this private tape. By far the most memorable is Billie's Bounce, in which Adams plays quite possibly the most harmonically daring solo of his career!
Duke Pearson was always a remarkable accompanist, and, on this excerpt, he's extremely interactive and fully understands where Adams is traveling. Mel Lewis, for his part, plays those trademark loping lines, and bass drum accents, swirling around the beat. Such a buoyant foundation allows Adams to be very playful and build motivic solos at his whim. Adams' wailing, dissonant lines begin in Chorus 2, and build throughout this experimental solo, climaxing in the third-to-last and penultimate solo choruses, beginning at the 6:19 mark. Notice also Adams' brilliant sense of architecture, in the way that he takes his opening motive from Chorus 1 and concludes with it.

Thad arranged the tune for the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra as a Pepper Adams and Thad Jones feature, and it was recorded on May 6, 1966 on the big band's first recording.

It's from Gray, Fielder notes, that Adams got his sense of lyricism and phraseology, but it's from Parker that Pepper got much of his harmonic and melodic vocabulary and his dazzling technique." "Adams acknowledged, in his interview with me, that Parker is the greatest player he ever heard. Yet it's still hard to overstate Wardell Gray's enduring influence on Adams. Bes... -

Audio clip and text: Courtesy of Gary Carner, http://www.PepperAdams.com "Pepper Adams was invited to Montreal by bassist Charlie Biddle to play with his rhythm section from 16-20 June 1967. In addition to the gig (possibly at Black Bottom), the quintet also had a scheduled performance at the U.S. Pavilion of Expo '67. The quintet played at least five tunes on 20 June at Expo, and, fortunately, CBC Radio was on hand to record the group. From the CBC broadcast, the ensemble's exciting renditions of "Cotton Tail" and "Straight, No Chaser" are included here for posterity."

Here are two spellbinding versions of Thad Jones' great composition "Three and One". Thad arranged the tune for the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra as a Pepper Adams and Thad Jones feature, and it was recorded on May 6, 1966 on the big band's first recording. Throughout his career, Adams played "Three and One" in small groups, and the tune was an integral part of his repertoire.
The first version, performed at Stampen in Stockholm, was recorded by Swedish Radio on June 5, 1970, during Adams' two-week gig at the club. Adams is accompanied by the house rhythm section of Claes Crona (piano), Red Mitchell (bass), and Jon Christensen (drums). Mitchell had moved to Stockholm in 1968 and, by 1970, was a fixture on the Stockholm scene.
This was Adams' second European gig as a touring soloist, and a return engagement to Stampen. His first trip took place only a few months earlier, from mid-December 1969 to early February 1970, when he toured Scandanavia (Copenhagen, Aarhus, Uppsala, Goteborg, and Stockholm), with a detour in between to Lagos, Portugal, to visit his friend, painter David X. Young.
Twelve years later, on October 14, 1982, Adams played Cafe La Voute in Montreal with a local rhythm section of Stan Patrick (piano), Freddie McHugh (bass), and Cisco Normand (drums). Vocalist Arlene Smith ran the club, formerly a bank building, and the bank vault was used as a bandstand. On this gig Stan Patrick was not fully recovered from open heart surgery, but, as you'll hear, nothing stops Pepper Adams from playing one of the most remarkable solos of his career!
Bandleader Denny Christianson was in the audience, and he had this to say: "What struck me, when I saw him, was, what is a giant like this doing in a small, little place with fifty people listening to him? He should be center stage, down at a featured concert. That was always my frustration. This place was so small, you could only get about four people in the room where the band was playing, and everybody else had to be outside the vault. You could hear it, but you couldn't see it! It was a very bizarre place and it didn't last long. There's Pepper back in this hole, playing away, and there's some semblance of an audience scattered around pillars and posts. Bizarre!"

Here are two spellbinding versions of Thad Jones' great composition "Three and One". Thad arranged the tune for the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra as a Pepper Adams and Thad Jones feature, and it was recorded on May 6, 1966 on the big band's first recording. Throughout his career, Adams played "Three and One" in small groups, and the tune was an integral part of his repertoire.
The first version, performed at Stampen in Stockholm, was recorded by Swedish Radio on June 5, 1970, during Adams' two-week gig at the club. Adams is accompanied by the house rhythm section of Claes Crona (piano), Red Mitchell (bass), and Jon Christensen (drums). Mitchell had moved to Stockholm in 1968 and, by 1970, was a fixture on the Stockholm scene.
This was Adams' second European gig as a touring soloist, and a return engagement to Stampen. His first trip took place only a few months earlier, from mid-December 1969 to early February 1970, when he toured Scandanavia (Copenhagen, Aarhus, Uppsala, Goteborg, and Stockholm), with a detour in between to Lagos, Portugal, to visit his friend, painter David X.

This audio clip and the text that follows are courtesy of Gary Carner (www.PepperAdams.com):
"As saxophonist Dale Fielder has pointed out on his Frugal Apathy blog, Pepper Adams' two greatest influences are Wardell Gray and Charlie Parker. It's from Gray, Fielder notes, that Adams got his sense of lyricism and phraseology, but it's from Parker that Pepper got much of his harmonic and melodic vocabulary and his dazzling technique."
"Adams acknowledged, in his interview with me, that Parker is the greatest player he ever heard. Yet it's still hard to overstate Wardell Gray's enduring influence on Adams. Besides Gray's gorgeous tone and unparalleled melodic gift, both emulated by Pepper, it was Gray's Berg Larsen tenor mouthpiece that Adams adopted for the baritone, and Gray was the first baritonist Pepper heard that played with precise articulation and a confident time feel. Besides being an important mentor, Wardell Gray was an especially close friend, and his shocking death in 1955 was a personal tragedy for Adams. (See "Pepper on Wardell Gray.") Gray and Parker both died at age 34, within months of each other."
"Gray's lyricism and Parker's technical bravura--the yin-yang of Pepper's solo style--and the way Adams moves effortlessly between both sensibilities, striking a balance between them, is what gives Pepper Adams solos their majesty and extraordinary beauty. A perfect example of this is his remarkable six-minute, six-chorus solo on this excerpt of "Bye, Bye Blackbird." "
"The tune begins with an 8-bar rhythm section introduction, a convention that Adams enjoyed. Pepper then states the theme in a very relaxed, behind-the-beat style that leads perfectly to his Grayesque first solo chorus. As a contrast, Chorus Two has those wonderful, tumbling, double-time lines, executed with Parkeresque intensity. Chorus Three is a mix of the polar opposites, with lots of space for the rhythm section to play fills, and with Adams using melodic paraphrase to great effect. Chorus Four is back to Wardell Gray, with lyrical melodic lines, space for the rhythm section, everything swinging very hard. Chorus Five is a beautiful melange of styles again, leading to the solo's climax in Chorus Six, where Adams finishes with a series of exciting patterns, resolving with a lovely, Grayesque concluding phrase."
" "Bye, Bye Blackbird" was recorded on November 19, 1983 at Sealy's, a discotheque in Bloomfield, New Jersey that had just started to book jazz. The piano was in bad shape, said bassist Earl Sauls, and the sound system wasn't any better. "There was hardly anybody there," Sauls remembered. "As soon as we finished playing, on went the disco lights and music!" With Sauls was Noreen Grey on piano and Curtis Boyd on drums."

"Pepper Adams was invited to Montreal by bassist Charlie Biddle to play with his rhythm section from 16-20 June 1967. In addition to the gig (possibly at Black Bottom), the quintet also had a scheduled performance at the U.S. Pavilion of Expo '67. The quintet played at least five tunes on 20 June at Expo, and, fortunately, CBC Radio was on hand to record the group. From the CBC broadcast, the ensemble's exciting renditions of "Cotton Tail" and "Straight, No Chaser" are included here for posterity."
"An excerpted version of Duke Ellington's "Cotton Tail" features Adams' spectacular, six-minute solo: A textbook case for saxophone students, with many of Adams' licks, formulas, and patterns on display, flowing from chorus to chorus, all in perfect balance. On the quintet's up-tempo run-through of Thelonious Monk's "Straight, No Chaser", Adams is in herculean form, stretching out for 33 choruses--its length, intensity, and scope reminiscent of Paul Gonsalves' famous 1956 Newport Jazz Festival solo on Dimuendo and Crescendo in Blue."
"This performance of "Straight, No Chaser" is the only known recording of Adams' brilliant, very dramatic blues arrangement in which, after the opening theme statement, he plays two choruses a half-step away from the tonic, over a pedal point, resolving back to the original key as a launching pad for his solo. Beginning a blues solo, with this kind of polytonal approach for a few choruses to drive tension, is the same thing Adams did on his very first solo with the Stan Kenton band in 1956. According to Adams, it took the band three weeks before they realized that he really knew what he was doing, and before he got another solo."
"Supporting Adams on this historic broadcast is the hard-driving Montreal-based rhythm section of Sadik Hakim piano; Nelson Symonds guitar; Charlie Biddle bass; Clayton Johnston drums."

On the week of September 24, 2012 in New York City, the entire jazz community came out in full to support the release of jazz historian and writer Gary Carner's biography "Joy Road," on the life of composer and baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams. In commemoration of Pepper's life, Carner also produced a five CD digital box set featuring the music and compositions released on Motema Music for music fans to download via the label's website and i-Tunes.
The 51 disc box set features a set of individual discs featuring: vocalist Alexis Cole and pianist Adam Birnbaum's "I Carry Your Heart," a recording of Alexis singing the music of Pepper Adams with lyrics written by Barry Wallenstien. She's also joined by the Jeremy Kahn Trio and special guests Eric Alexander and Pat Labarbera. The other four volumes include music by the Frank Basile Sextet and the Jeremy Kahn Quartet, the Kevin Bales Quartet, Barry Greene, Joe Mangnarelli, and Gary Smulyan. Motema Music also released two discs you can buy in stores, vocalist Alexis Cole and a sampler of all the music from the box set.
In addition to the kick-off of Gary's book and the CD box set, Motema Records also kicked off their Jazz for Wine Lovers Series. Gary an avid wine lover, presented throughout the week, wine from his co-sponsors Hannah Nicole Vineyards, Standing Stone Vineyards, and Strangeland Vineyards. Music fans at all the venues were also given an opportunity to receive a free download of the title track "Joy Road" once they joined the e-mail list for the program at www.jazzforwinelovers.com.
The Monday night kick-off featured noted jazz luminary and promoter Mary Ann Topper, who programmed and arranged all the festivities for the week, served as emcee and introduced the special musical guests that performed during the evening. They included Motema recording artist Alexis Cole and pianist Adam Birnbaum performing selections of the Pepper Adams composition based "I Carry My Heart," the Lakecia Benjamin Quintet, and a all-star band featuring NEA Jazz Master Curtis Fuller, Louis Hayes, Don Friedman, Rufus Reid, Ronnie Ben-Hur, Gary Smulyan, and Frank Basile. Everyone played new arrangements of Pepper's music including "Mary's Blues," "Trentino," "Urban Dreams," and "Claudette's Way."
Other special musical events centered around Pepper's music that took place during the week were performances by The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra at the famed Village Vanguard, jazz organist Mike LeDonne's "The Hammond B3 Meets Pepper Adams" set at Smoke, The Frank Basile Sextet Plays Pepper Adams at Smalls, and vocalist Alexis Cole and her quintet performing at Smoke.
Park Frederick Adams III was born on October 8, 1930 in Highland Park, Michigan. As a child has family moved to Rochester, New York where as an early teen he learned how to play the clarinet and tenor saxophone. When his family moved back to Detroit, it was there Pepper switched and began playing the baritone saxophone. It was also in Detroit where he became friends with who would become another jazz luminary, trumpeter Donald Byrd, who would later play with during the late 1950's. Pepper was influenced by Ellington bandmate Harry Carney and tenor saxophonist Wardell Grey.
When Adams moved to New York City during the mid-1950's he became a well in-demand session musician backing and playing with the likes of Lee Morgan, John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Elvin Jones, Kenny Clarke, Oliver Nelson, Duke Pearson, and Benny Goodman. His most famous musical partnerships was of the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Big Band in which he played with for 11 years. Pepper would influence a younger legion of baritone saxophone players including Ronnie Cuber, Gary Smulyan, and Frank Basile. Pepper composed some 43 songs throughout his music career.
Adams died on September 10, 1986 of lung cancer in Brooklyn, New York.

Never have two musicians seemed so alike in temperament yet differed so much in their approach to making music as Chet Baker and Bill Evans. While both were peerless masters of their instruments and shared a rich, evocatively lyrical playing style that bordered beguilingly on the introspective, Baker and Evans were polar opposites when it came to the discipline of performance.
Though both were heroin addicts, the musically-trained Evans never let it interfere with his meticulously precise flights of invention while the self-taught Baker became increasingly erratic and inconsistent. They ventured into a recording studio together on just three occasions.
Michael Quinn of bbc.co.uk
The sessions dates are identified as Dec. 1958, plus January and July 1959. Both featured artists are in top musical form. Their interpretations of these jazz standards are exceptional.
The backing musicians are truly the gold standard of jazz recording artists. All these individuals are legendary jazz icons with very successful solo careers. The ensemble includes Herbie Mann, Pepper Adams, Kenny Burrell, Paul Chambers, Connie Kay and Philly Joe Jones. All these artists turn in stellar performances. However, I have to single out Pepper Adams on baritone sax who really shines on these selections. The production values and mix are spot on, courtesy of Orrin Keepnews. The entire project maintains a leisurely tempo and a rich melodic and moody interpretation of these classic compositions.
