Sound Suggestions is an album by American jazz saxophonist George Adams, recorded in May 1979 and released on ECM later that same year. The sextet features trumpeter Kenny Wheeler, saxophonist Heinz Sauer, and rhythm section Richard Beirach, Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette.[1]
The Globe and Mail noted that Adams "has a strong funky streak, here expressed in the jumping 'Imani's Dance' and the blues (which Adams sings) 'Got Something Good for You'."[2]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "The playing is advanced but not as fiery as most of Adams' later sets".[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 2½ stars, stating: "this was an uneasy collaboration, not really Adams's own session".[4]
