Don Pullen News

If you want some authentic idea of the true tenor saxophone glory of George Adams you could turn to YouTube and trace his sublime duet performance of What a Wonderful World with his long-time piano partner Don Pullen, recorded live at a Japanese jazz festival.

Don Pullen developed an extended technique for the piano and a strikingly individual style, post-bop and modern, but retaining a strong feeling for the blues.

Jane Bunnett is never afraid to push the envelope. She did so with her 1988 album, In Dew Time, the now out-of-print vinyl that was produced privately by the Toronto imprint, Dark Light, on which producer, husband and trumpet/flugelhorn player Larry Cramer scooped both keyboard player Don Pullen and saxophonist Dewey Redman.
