Donald Byrd and Pepper Adams 1961

Leigh has an in-depth interview conducting his verbal "Rohrshach test" type session with Donald Byrd and Pepper Adams when they were in Minneapolis with their quintet. In this fascinating chat, Donald and Pepper comment on jazz critics, the blues, and most interestingly a long discussion about the current jazz controversy of the time - Ornette Coleman.

The wit in Pepper's answers mirror that of his playing.This was truly a great find!

More than great! One of Leigh´s best. He had concrete questions prepared and a half hour with Donald and Pepper. I enjoy the 5 minute telephone on the intermission things also. But they are kind of "Hello-goodby. No real information because there´s no time!
