Biography
A master of the tenor saxophone, flute, and bass clarinet, jazz musician George Adams collaborated with Charles Mingus, Sam Cooke, Art Blakey, and Don Pullen throughout his 30-year career. Born in the Atlanta suburb of Covington, Georgia, on April 29, 1940, he toured with Sam Cooke in 1961 â the same year Cooke released the pop classic "Cupid" â and moved to New York City in 1968. There, he performed with Charles Mingus from 1973 to 1978, while also collaborating with artists like Gil Evans and pianist McCoy Tyner. Formed in 1979, the George Adams-Don Pullen Quartet became one of his most stable projects during the final years of his life. The group made its debut with 1979's All That Funk and released more than 10 albums during the next decade, with Adams ultimately passing away in New York City on November 14, 1992.
