Melodic Excursions is an album by American jazz saxophonist George Adams and pianist Don Pullen Quartet, recorded in 1982 for the Dutch Timeless label.[1]
Reception
[edit | edit source]The AllMusic review by Steve Loewy stated: "Both Pullen and Adams fans should be satisfied with this effort, as each performer shines. While the recording may sometimes lack the seriousness that some might prefer from these giants of the genre, it's clearly one of their best group efforts".[2]
