Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as a tribute to the robust jazz lineage of Detroit, 'Motor City Scene' unites baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams with fellow hometown luminaries like Donald Byrd and Tommy Flanagan. The session crackles with an intense, hard-swinging energy, showcasing Adams' unparalleled ability to execute rapid-fire bebop lines on the notoriously cumbersome baritone.
