Reception

According to The Penguin Guide to Jazz, Conjuration is: "A heartening farewell to Adams career on record" noting "this live set emphasises his virtues – the muscularity of sound, oversized tone and plangent phrasing – so decisively that one overlooks any scent of routine in his playing".[4] The AllMusic review states "The great baritonist Pepper Adams is teamed up with the adventurous trumpeter Kenny Wheeler and veteran pianist Hank Jones for this live quintet date. Wheeler, although often associated with the avant-garde, has never had any difficulty playing changes and his strong style clearly inspired Adams".[5]
