Jeff Decker, Baritone Sax - "Conjuration" (Pepper Adams) - Live, Pepper Adams Festival, 2012

A night of music celebrating Pepper Adams compositions, in this case "Conjuration" (also the title of a Pepper Adams album, recorded at a live concert).
Charlottesville, Virginia
Jeff Decker's main instrument is tenor sax (note his "tenorish" sound and intonation on baritone sax), yet he gives many a bari player a run for their dough! (He throws in some Charlie Parker licks for good measure...)
Hod O'Brien, Bob Jospé and Stephanie Nakasian participated in this performance.
The connection to Pepper Adams is that O'Brien and Nakasian had done an album with Pepper Adams less than 2 years before Adams' death:
"Opalescence" (Criss Cross, 1985)
Hod O'Brien w/ Pepper Adams, Tom Harrell, Ray Drummond, Kenny Washington and Stephanie Nakasian
