ART PEPPER Getting Together! Vinyl LP 1960 Contemporary MONO M3573 Sequel to Meet the Rhythm Section, one of Pepper’s most east coast records, due no doubt to the presence of its top east coast rhythm section. To my mind, Pepper lacks the fire in his belly of the best New York saxophonists, he somehow seems to hold back, but its a pleasing outing, and the combination of east and west coast sensibilities makes for good listening..
Pepper had become a heroin addict in the 1940s, and his career was interrupted by four two-year drug-related prison sentences in the decade 1954- 65, illustrating the effectiveness of imprisoning musician drug addicts. Perhaps the warden of Rikers was blog-host of JazzMusicianCollector.com. “Let’s see, who we have got in the Cell Block 13 Quintet this month?” As a sort of follow-up to Art Pepper matchup with Miles Davis trio in the 1957 classic Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section, Pepper utilizes Davis sidemen on this 1960 near-classic. In addition to pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Jimmy Cobb, trumpeter Conte Candoli makes the group a quintet on four of the eight numbers. This time around, rather than emphasizing standards, Pepper performs just three ("Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise," Thelonious Monk "Rhythm-A-Ning"and includes three originals of his own: "Diane," "Bijou the Poodle" and "Gettin' Together." The music is all very straight ahead and bop-oriented, but as usual, Pepper brings something very personal and unique to his playing; he sounds like no one else
