Product Description
Contents: A definitive best-of album of George Adams' timeless recordings! 2-CD set! If Cedar Walton was the flagship artist of Timeless Records in the 1970s, then George Adams was the best-selling artist of the 1980s! Having played with Charles Mingus and the Gil Evans Orchestra, Adams formed a band with his close friend Don Pullen, signed with Timeless, and produced a string of 1980s jazz masterpieces such as "City Gates" as the Adams-Pulen Quartet. His playing with Cameron Brown (bass) and Danny Richmond (drums) is simply "intense"! Adams' soul lies in his hard-hitting, roots-music-based playing, and the four-piece band sound, with Brown and Richmond's jet-black groove and Pullen's aggressive piano, is perfect! Furthermore, Adams' playing, exuding a dangerous aura, as seen in live recordings with John Scofield and sessions with Hilton Lewis (piano), is one of a kind! [TRACKLIST] Disc-1: 1.
