posted May 23, 2019 |  | After his gig at the beautiful seaside venue (Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society) south of San Francisco, Adams is interviewed by George Hughes of KJAZ Radio. (The interview was video taped by a television crew from San Francisco State University, apparently reusing old videotape, which was not fully erased). Two weeks prior, Adams left the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra after an eleven-year run. Adams discusses his upcoming schedule in the Bay Area, his future gigs overseas, his time with Thad/Mel, being a parent, and the New York jazz scene. This is likely the only existing video footage of Pepper Adams speaking. |

So far, no footage has been discovered of the Byrd-Adams Quintet. That great band (see Donald Byrd-Pepper Adams Quintet on the homepage) was formed in earnest earlier that year (1958) when Byrd and Adams worked together with Thelonious Monk and then recorded under Pepper's leadership in April for Riverside. Doug Watkins was on that recording and he's here, as part of a superb rhythm section! Donald Byrd tp; Bobby Jaspar fl; Walter Davis Jr p; Doug Watkins b; Arthur Taylor dm. |
