Biography

Edit

Park "Pepper" Adams III (October 8, 1930 – September 10, 1986) was a jazz baritone saxophonist. Nicknamed "The Knife" for his sound on the horn, he had a hearty tone and driving rhythmic sense which provided the antithesis to the lighter, floating (and consequently more popular) style of his contemporary Gerry Mulligan.
