Motor City Scene

**Pepper Adams** was not only one of the most consistently imaginative musicians in Jazz, he also had a rare capacity to write, arrange and execute and played with outstanding orchestras such as *Stan Kenton's* and *Benny Goodman's.*

*'Motor City Scene'* consists of five compositions. The first side opens with a standard written by **Hoagy Carmichael** bringing to front trumpeter **Donald Byrd**, also included *'Philson',* and *'Libeccio'* in which **Pepper Adams** spotlights his ability as a writer. This gathering of top notch soloists makes for an assortment of highly listenable Jazz. It is truly **Pepper Adams** & **Donald Byrd** at their best!
