America (George Adams album)

America is an album by saxophonist George Adams which was recorded in 1989 and released on the Blue Note label the following year.

[1][2][3] The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "This is one of tenor saxophonist George Adams' funnest records.

This CD is accessible, patriotic, and a highly recommended and continually surprising set".

[4] In the Los Angeles Times, Don Heckman called it "an unusual contemporary jazz outing" and wrote "Tenor saxophonist Adams takes an interesting risk with this collection of songs from what he calls the "mainstream of Americana."

Adams' big blowzy sound and brusquely rhythmic articulation bring a vigorous, almost folk-like slant to these familiar songs".
