Adams, Greg
Koolin Out
Jazz drummer Greg Adams was active on the Los Angeles experimental jazz scene of the early 1980s. Based in the working class coastal town of Long Beach, California, and with longstanding ties to the industrial east coast city of Wilmington, Delaware, Adams sought to hearken back to the naturalistic form of be-bop, which is why he recorded the material on Koolin Out in a live session with no overdubs, in April 1983. Privately pressed in minute quantities as the sole entity on his own hip city imprint, the album features individual arrangements of Coltranes "Moments Notice" and "Mr P.C.," Wayne Shorters "Armageddon," Joe Hendersons "Recordame" and an extended version of Bobby Hutchersons "Little Bees Poem." Features Dadisi Komolafe on flute, Motown/Nimbus alumnus Nate Morgan on piano, and Panafrikan Peoples Orchestra saxophonist, Kafi Larry Roberts.
