I hope everyone is having an enjoyable beginning to the summer.
Recently, new chronology links were posted at
https://www.pepperadams.com/,updating both Adams’s life while affiliated with Thad Jones, and
his concluding eight years after he left Jones/Lewis:

The Adams Panel #4 that I conducted with Aaron Lington’s help
is almost ready to be posted. It’s taken a lot of time to prepare due to
one of our panelist’s audio issues.
I’m excited to announce that an outline from Noah Pettibon is expected
this summer for his forthcoming book on Adams, co-written with John
Vana.
Coinciding with the Fall release of the paperback edition of Reflectory
will be Panel #5, scheduled on October 8, Adams’s 93rd birthday. The
roster of participants so far is terrific!:
Pat LaBarbera: Reminiscing in Tempo
Bevan Manson: Compositional Aspects of Selected Pepper Tunes
Noah Pettibon: solo from Encounter (1968)
John Vana: “Lover” (1977)
Kevin Goss: "My Shining Hour" (1980)
Joseph Trahan: “Alone Together” (1983)
Ronnie Burrage: “Dobbin” or “Doctor Deep” (1985)
Aaron Lington: unknown solo
Glenn Wilson: unknown solo
Jason Marshall: unknown solo
Danny Harrington: unknown solo
