Seein’ Red – Pepper Adams
Album: The Cool Sound of Pepper Adams (1957)
Pepper Adams - Baritone Sax
Bernard McKinney (Kiane Zawadi) - Euphonium
Hark Jones - Piano
George Duvivier - Bass
Elvin Jones - Drums
The tune starts out with a bari/euphonium duet, then sliding into a Bari solo, then one from the euphonium. A piano solo comes next and the rest of the rhythm section backs off a little, giving the piano some room to solo. Afterwards is a trade-off between the bass and the drums, then the same duet from the beginning of the tune (baritone/euphonium).
I enjoyed this tune because it incorporates solos on a bunch of instruments, so it was cool to compare the elements each of the solos shared and the individual things that each instrument focused on. I also thought it was cool how the tune ended the same way it started.
