Friday Album Cover: Motor City Scene

Donald Byrd and Pepper Adams
Motor City Scene


Donald Byrd and Pepper Adams serve as co-leaders on Motor City Scene, a 1960 album on the small label Bethlehem Records re-released in the 1990s, featuring fellow Detroit natives Kenny Burrell, Tommy Flanagan, Paul Chambers, and Louis Hayes. Though the album art is a bit obvious, it is still well executed. With the glasses, beret, and goatee, the driver in the photo looks like a white Dizzy Gillespie, which I always found interesting. Have a good weekend.
