City gates
Beskrivning:George Adams ts/fl och Don Pullen p spelade i flera år med Charles Mingus och när de efter hans död bildade en kvartett blev den en av 1980-talets stora utropstecken. I den här upplagan av kvartetten ingick också Mingus ständige trumslagare Dannie Richmond och basisten Cameron Brown. Frits Lagerwerff har skrivit baksidestexten.
"By 1983, the quartet was at a musical peak, and this may be their best recording. Everything gels: The choice of tunes, the solos, and the arrangements all come together to produce one of the leading post-bop albums of the 1980s. Adams and Pullen perform magnificently and soulfully on "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen," while the other three originals by pianist Don Pullen and two by Adams include a lengthy tribute to Charles Mingus and a shorter one for Thelonious Monk. Thankfully, there are no vocals by Adams. When these fellows get it right, as they do here, there is a synergy and energy that just can't be beat. Adams soars on tenor, building to a frenzied crescendo without losing control, while Pullen is right at his side. Drummer Dannie Richmond and bassist Cameron Brown seem inspired by the date."
