George Adams - Don Pullen Quartet – Don't Lose Control (Soul Note, 1980)

George Adams (ts, fl, vo); George Pullen (p, vo); Cameron Brown (b); Dannie Richmond (d)

Recorded on November 2 - 3, 1979

Reissued as part of George Adams: The Complete Remastered Recordings on Black Saint & Soul Note (2012)

The George Adams - Don Pullen Quartet featured three players from the extraordinary Charles Mingus quintet that made Changes 1 and Changes 2: George Adams, Don Pullen, and Dannie Richmond.  In this band, bassist Cameron Brown filled the bassist's role.

Like their mentor's bands, this group seems unconstrained by any musical limitations.  Their playing encompasses great swathes of history, and their grasp is both encyclopedic and idiomatic.
