High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! 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. Pepper Adams was born in Highland Park, Michigan. His family moved to Rochester, New York when he was young. and in that city he began his musical efforts. Then when he was sixteen he moved back to Detroit, Michigan, near where he had been born, and where he met several musicians who would later be important to his career, including trumpeter Donald Byrd. Adams now became interested in Wardell Gray's approach to the saxophone, later naming Gray and Harry Carney as his influences. He also spent time in a United States Army band, and briefly had a tour of duty in Korea.
