frogman the one you reposted is a great display of musicianship by Jones and Adams. Adams solo in particular shows a total command of his instrument. Your other links also magnify his brilliance on the baritone.
Its funny that the latest topic here is Pepper Adams as for this past week I have been sampling a lot of the Thad Jones Mel Lewis Orchestra on YouTube and Amazon and compiling the albums I intend to buy into my Amazon wish list. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Here is another awesome baritone player carrying on the torch since Adams’ passing:

As for the extended note from 2:50 - 3:20 I saw JC do the same and actually could see him exhibit the "circular breathing" technique from a distance of about 10 feet as my table was front row center and 5 feet from the bandstand.
Getting back to Pepper Adams he appears on far to many of my disc collection as a sideman for me to count. I wish he had recorded more as a leader.
