Echoes (Joshua Breakstone album)

Echoes is an album by guitarist Joshua Breakstone that was recorded in 1986 and first released by the Contemporary label.

Reception

In his review on AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "Guitarist Joshua Breakstone gained some initial recognition for this recording, his first for a medium-size label (following two sets for the tiny Sonora company). Breakstone welcomes two major players (baritonist Pepper Adams and pianist Kenny Barron) to a bop-oriented program ... There are fine solos all around, particularly from Pepper Adams, who only had eight months left to live. Worth searching for".
