I love them ❤, saw them one time live in Hildesheim/Germoney about 1980/81. Since then I am a Fan. It's such a bluesy, jazzy, free and soulful music and philosophy. No boarders between Friends! Yeah! Hari Berlina
Thanks DON PULLEN, THANKS GEORGE COLEMAN , THANKS DANNIE , THANKS CAMERON FR THE MUSIC AND THANKS ESATCHMO FOR POSTING THIS GEM. Don Pullen a true master.
Saw and heard this wonderful , swinging, funky band in Athens, Greece, probably on the same European tour the same year. The venue was a large packed theatre. The concert was slightly delayed waiting for George Adams to turn up! Eventually, he came rushing through the theatre and leapt onto the stage armed with his saxophone case. The band then proceeded to raise the roof beams high and rock the joint. Loved Don Pullen's playing. Such a versatile and orignal player. What a band! Live they were explosive.
The thing about this amazing group was that they were both straight ahead jazz blues players while at the same time being one of the most avant-garde outside groups ever. Don could play all that at one and the same time as could George while Danny, with his years backing Mingus could play anything and everything in any combination. On top of it they had Cameron Brown who was one of the most undermentioned bassists ever, although he was awesome like he had to be to play this music. For me, they not only were the best quartet of the 80s but the best since then too. It makes me so sad and angry at the universe that the three main members of the group all died way too young and were deprived of long lives playing and sharing this incredible music that always fills my soul with joy.
One of the best jazz groups I have ever seen and heard. I was fortunate enough to attend several of their performances in the 80's and won't forget them.
One of the wildest and hardswinging bands ever, but they could play very soft too. Both George and Don was raised in Charles Mingus band, so they knew how to do it!!
stumbled onto this group while listening to channel 67 on SERIOUS lol. mind blowing....my stepbrother is glenn spearman, he played w cecil taylor. they must have run in the same circles. so they are all deceased??
Big Alice is so cool, a totally tight kick-ass blues. Hard to beat this one unless you have Dannie Richmond and Cameron Brown as your rhythm section and ain't nobody played like Don Pullen or George Adams..
the soundmen never seem to notice that Adams plays half of his notes so far off the mic that they dont get picked up. shit. CONDENSER MICs. use one. jesus.
adams always plays the same solo everywhere and all the time: screams, random phrases without any respect for the context and the other musicians. He is a lousy musician, like many in jazz, a music where crooks of his kind can make a career without any respect for the listener.
Shows how bad an ear and knowledge of jazz you have. Yes, the Master of jazz, Charles Mingus, chose him for his last great group because he sucked and Mingus couldn't hear what a genius like you can. 😂 What a buffoon you are.
Your trolling. You must be very disappointed your life did not turn out as expected. There is a quick and painless solution. Just, swollow as many oxycotin as you can, wait 20 minutes, and take a swan dive off of the tallest skyscraper you can find.
@@rinahall Wrong, it's directly related to a troll who has nothing better to do with his life than act like a spiritual vampire, and attempt to bring everyones energy down with your ignorant commentary. Intelligent critique should always be welcomed, but not the comments of a mindless troll. Again, it would be more courageous to end your life as quickly as possible with your own hands, so nature does not have to slowly torture you. There are many quick was to die, choose one, and act on it.

Ich bin Kunstmaler,Expressinist. Ich habe seit 1979 noch kein einziges Bild gemalt ohne George Adams
Pullen & Adams, el mejor grupo de jazz de los 80s
Saw and heard this wonderful , swinging, funky band in Athens, Greece, probably on the same European tour the same year. The venue was a large packed theatre.

So awesome to see Dannie Richmond backing up the band. He’s one of the best! 😀👉🏼🥁

They're all still playin' with Charles!
DON PULLEN WAS THE MAN.....GODDAM, COULD HE PLAY!!
One of the best jazz groups I have ever seen and heard. I was fortunate enough to attend several of their performances in the 80's and won't forget them.
One of the best ensembles in jazz-history
One of the wildest and hardswinging bands ever, but they could play very soft too.
Both George and Don was raised in Charles Mingus band, so they knew how to do it!!
My favourite group in the '80's don't forget Dannie on drums!
They created the best jazz in the 80s. RIP Danny, Don and George
. . . and Cameron!
Ich habe vorher meine George Adams Samlung angesehen,meine erste LP habe ich 1980 gekauft und geliebt,also ein Fan seit 43 Jahren
Happy Birthday George Adams🎂🎷04-29-2022
Their performances (yup, plural) at Mt. Fuji Jazz Fest are legendary!
What a great performance in this small club in Cologne, Germany. And what a great band: unforgettable these guys!
🎼George Adams Lives 4~Ever 🎶...
So great = strong and powerfull free spirit
Thanks for posting this precious live video recording of the great Adams-Pullen quartet at the peak of their prowess in 1986. Magnificent!
I'm just blown away by that power...
one of the best quartets... miss them so much
Amazing talents❤🎶🎹👑🎷
Cameron Brown, bass, Danny Richmond, drums.
Thank you very much for posting this video.. George Adams, Don Pullen and Danny Richmond...wow!
Lots of Mingus undertones!
Great, especially me seeing as a young man in the audience
haha!! Where are you?
Sum this up with one word.... Smokin'
Yessir! Swingin deeper and harder than my boys in the porcelain bowl
Don Pullen is the strongest evidence that different forms of life other than human exist in the Universe.
yes
He was a Cosmic Being.
Unforgettable
amazing
stumbled onto this group while listening to channel 67 on SERIOUS lol. mind blowing....my stepbrother is glenn spearman, he played w cecil taylor. they must have run in the same circles. so they are all deceased??
Yes all but Cameron Brown
Great!
with Cameron Brown and Danny Richmond
Ho conosciuto George..
Burning!
Big Alice is so cool, a totally tight kick-ass blues. Hard to beat this one unless you have Dannie Richmond and Cameron Brown as your rhythm section and ain't nobody played like Don Pullen or George Adams..
JAAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ, FUCK YEAH
I heard Pullen live in the sixties. The best of the least well known great pianists.
Chicago blues, in Germany, by black avant-gardists, who'd a-thunk it! MBB
best comment ever seen in my life
Ja Moin
Come on here. It is DANNIE Richmond, not Danny!!
He deserves correct spelling, he was one of the greatest drummers ever!
And that youtube handle deserves someone actually archiving stuff 😆
Okay John Coltrane
Pokerface is the word
G Blues or F ??Jazznet Spandau
G as great!!!
the soundmen never seem to notice that Adams plays half of his notes so far off the mic that they dont get picked up. shit. CONDENSER MICs. use one. jesus.
ill go back in time and tell them that
hate it when horn players and vibes players and organists sing, when they clearly cannot. (Adams, Moody, Hampton, Jimmy Smith)
I actually like adams voice especially on devils blues
hate it when listeners make gratuitous and ignorant comments
Adams' voice is great !
Adams' voice is great!
Can sing - cannot sing - who are you to judge, you narrow-minded nit-pick? (also refers to your comment on the mics)
adams always plays the same solo everywhere and all the time: screams, random phrases without any respect for the context and the other musicians. He is a lousy musician, like many in jazz, a music where crooks of his kind can make a career without any respect for the listener.
