i was looking through the orphan list on dimeadozen, and noticed this one that sounded famililar. sure enough, i’d downloaded it back in late 2010, and so i seeded it to the two leechers who’d been waiting hopefully. and i gave it a listen. very nice! no wonder “pepper adams” had rung a bell. so here it is. not too long, not too short, and a lovely recording.
p.s. any help on the line-up appreciated!
p.p.s. as always the files are unchanged unless noted… including the typo “sophistocated lady” in the info file & filename.

According to Gary Carner’s Pepper Adams Chronology at: http://www.pepperadams.com/ it was part of a lengthy engagement for Expo ’67 during which he also played with Vic Vogel’s Big Band. Cool!
