Description

This vintage 1957 pressing of Pepper Adams/5 by the Pepper Adams Quintet offers a remarkable glimpse into the jazz scene of the late 1950s. Released on the Mode Records label, catalog number MOD-LP #112, this album is part of the 'Music of the Day' series, a notable New Star Series recognized by Down Beat's International Jazz Critics Poll. The cover art features a distinctive portrait illustration by Eva Diana and liner photography by Dave Pell, capturing the essence of the era. The album was recorded in Hollywood, California in July 1957, showcasing the talents of Pepper Adams on baritone saxophone, Stu Williamson on trumpet, Carl Perkins on piano, Leroy Vinnegar on bass, and Mel Lewis on drums.

The record is a 12-inch black vinyl LP playing at 33 RPM, pressed with a rim-drive technology touted to reduce turntable slippage and enhance fidelity. Side A includes tracks like 'Unforgettable' and 'Baubles, Bangles and Beads,' while Side B features 'Freddie Froo,' 'My One And Only Love,' and 'Muezzin'. The liner notes detail the musical significance of Pepper Adams' contributions and the ensemble's cohesive sound, making this pressing highly sought after by jazz collectors and enthusiasts alike. The sleeve is a cardboard type, showing some wear and corner damage but retains the original Mode Records logo and catalog sticker. This edition provides an authentic listening experience of a pivotal jazz recording from the Mode Records catalog.
