A few days ago I received a wonderful Facebook
message from Tony Wolton regarding Reflectory:
I'm going through the book for a second time, a must have
item not just for lovers of Pepper Adams and his music, but
anyone interested in the Detroit/New York jazz scene 1950's
onwards. Before the book, what little I knew about him came
from LP liner notes and anything I might glean from a magazine
or two. The man was a genius. One reference from the book
and then I'm done: In 1968 (or thereabouts), Miles Davis played
first set at a gig so he could get off early. Don't forget Miles was
getting into strange stuff by then, but held back in the wings to
hear the whole of Adams' set. He dug what Pepper played. How
many others would Miles Davis have hung back for?
Here’s a link to the book, where you can read some about it and
buy it: https://www.pepperadams.com/Reflectory/index.html
