City Gates is an album by the George Adams-Don Pullen Quartet recorded in 1983 for the Dutch Timeless label.[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Steve Loewy awarded the album 4½ stars stating "By 1983, the quartet was at a musical peak, and this may be their best recording. Everything gels: The choice of tunes, the solos, and the arrangements all come together to produce one of the leading post-bop albums of the 1980s".[2]
