Update on Pepperback Edition

 





I hope everyone stateside had a terrific Thanksgiving

and start to the holiday season. I’ve been busy packing

because I have to move to a new place by May 31. So

far, only one papercut.


Yesterday I received the galleys to Pepper Adams:

Saxophone Trailblazer. I have to submit final changes by

mid-January. The book is still on target for a Fall, 2023

publication.


This, of course, will be the paperback edition of Reflectory:

The Life and Music of Pepper Adams. It’s devoid of music

links, all the photos from Adams’s estate, and at least half

the text. But, as a slimmed down abridged edition, it will be

available as a “real” book, and should raise Pepper’s profile.

Also, Reflectory will stay in print for those OK with an ebook

and who want to hear all this great music.


In the last few weeks I’ve updated all of the Adams

chronologies with new research, so check them out here:

A lot of new content at pepperadams.com can be expected in

the next few months, including new interviews and radio shows

with me, new performances of Pepper’s compositions, and

vintage videos of Adams that have never before been seen.


Have a great holiday. Talk to you next year.
