George Adams (1940-1992) was a passionate tenor-saxo- phonist who always had his own intense sound and personal approach to playing jazz. Paradise Space Shuttle is his third album as the sole leader and includes the set standard Send In The Clowns, Metamorphosis, a tribute to Charlus Min- gus, and the album opener Intentions. The line-up for these recordings included Ron Burton on piano, Don Pate on bass, Al Foster on drums and Azzedin Weston on percussion.

Paradise Space Shuttle includes newly written liner notes by music journalist Scott Yanow.
