Art Pepper

[lutyens10]

I am a great fan of Art Pepper too. My absolute favorite is Blues for the Fisherman with Milcho Leviev on Mole. There was a second called True Blues, but I prefer the first. My copies are on the black stuff and they may not have reached CD but I am sure someone here can correct this. His King recordings that were released in Japan and subsequently put out on Blue Note are also among my favorites.

Am a huge fan of the late, post-rehab, Pepper with his constipated sputtering horn playing. The early Pepper was of a decidedly different "West Coast" style which was enjoyable on its own terms.

The live sets were particularly riveting i.e. those at the Maiden Voyage and at the Vanguard. I also like the studio albums of his quartet with Cables.

Definitely one of the greatest alto players.

Martin, glad you are enjoying your new "pepper/cables".

what is it called. The one I have is "Going Home", just a duo. But but it doesnt have "Over the Rainbow" on it.

Just re read the cover of mine. It was recorded 11-12 May 82, 1 month before he died.

Played Artworks and Living Legend on vinyl last night.

Bloody fantastic. The first track on Artworks, Body and Soul, is solo sax. It has elements of Lover Man in there - beautiful.

I've got Gettin' Together on vinyl on its way to me.
