The Cool Sound of Pepper Adams, is the third album led by baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams which was recorded in late 1957 and originally released on the Regent label. The album was rereleased on Savoy as Pure Pepper in 1984 with an additional previously unreleased track.

The Allmusic review by Jason Ankeny states "A wonderfully soulful session featuring striking contributions from pianist Hank Jones and drummer Elvin Jones, its four lengthy cuts pulsate with energy and invention. Despite complementing Adams' baritone leads with Bernard McKinney's euphonium, the music never sounds bloated. Instead, it's supple and slinky, with a dexterity that's utterly winning".
