Description: Tracks:IntentionsSend in the ClownsMetamorphosis for MingusParadise Space ShuttleCity of PeaceFunk-a-roonie-peacock Performer Notes: Personnel: George Adams (tenor saxophone); Ron Burton (piano); Al Foster (drums); Azzedin Weston (percussion).Recording information: Sound Ideas Studio, New York, NY (12/21/1979).Tenor saxophonist George Adams played with such verve and wit that virtually every solo he played was a delight. Unfortunately, as is the case here, he sometimes participated in contexts that didn't quite match the quality of his performances. Here, he's backed by a decent and sympathetic (if not always inspiring) rhythm section, and some of the tunes -- such as the tear-jerking "Send in the Clowns" -- are near perfect. Yet, one-third of this short recording is filled by a tune called "Funk-A-Roonie-Peacock," which, while a lot of fun, sounds like commercial filler. The saxophonist contributes a lengthy vocal, suitable for the disco but likely to disappoint many of his followers. Elsewhere, there's a sense of spontaneity that borders on informality, but Adams is excellent throughout. ~ Steven Loewy Producer: Wim Wigt, Hilton Ruiz, Arthur Barron Format: CD (1 Disc) Country: USA Release Date: 1 January, 2000 Label: Timeless (Label)
