Baritone Saxophone – Pepper Adams; Bass – Ron Carter; Drums – Elvin Jones; Piano – Tommy Flanagan; Tenor Saxophone – Zoot Sims. Recorded on 3 & 4 January, 1969 at Nola Sound Studios, NY.
Baritonist Pepper Adams and tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims (who rarely performed together) make a surprisingly compatible team on this CD reissue of a 1968 Prestige session. With pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Elvin Jones forming a fairly adventurous rhythm section, Pepper and Sims sound inspired on material that includes obscurities by Flanagan, Thad Jones and Adams in addition to the Ellington-Strayhorn ballad "Star-Crossed Lovers" and a pair of Joe Henderson songs. The setting is more advanced than usual for Sims, who rises to the challenge. ~Scott Yanow
