Pepper Adams: Urban Dreams
by Derek Taylor
Musicians frequently become associated with the attributes of their instruments. Charles Mingus was hulking and imposing, just like his bass.

Gerry Mulligan Quartets: In Concert
by Derek Taylor
Gerry Mulligan’s pianoless quartet with Chet Baker is commonly cited as an early artistic apogee in the careers of both its frontline participants.
