Encounter!

is an album led by saxophonist Pepper Adams which was recorded in 1968 at Nola Penthouse Sound Studios, NYC, December 11-12, 1968 and released on the Prestige label in 1969.

[1][2] Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars stating "Baritonist Pepper Adams and tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims (who rarely performed together) make a surprisingly compatible team...

The setting is more advanced than usual for Sims, who rises to the challenge".

[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz commented that "Jones overdoes the bashing, and the uptempo pieces are a battle, but the horns don't falter at any point".

[4] All compositions by Pepper Adams except where noted.
