The percussionists from this band, and Santans original percussion line up should jam one time...

[taconip]

HAhahahah Thad's just cowbelling away throughout the entire song

[bcolborn]

Youtube needs more Pepper Adams! Thank you for posting this!

I used to see them live in NYC and the occasional gig in the Boston area. They had to be one of the loosest of the great bands.

Mel Lewis is a very under-appreciated drummer. Lots of guys could push a band, but listen to what Mel does under a soloist.

[timeonsampler]

i totally agree!

love to the groove and your support

Pepper Adams,baritone sax king.

It is from 1976, not 1978!
