Used 1979 Jazz Library 1500 Series Japanese Import Stereo Reissue of Classic 1957 Contemporary Release of Bandleader/Composer/Alto Sax Master Art Pepper Entitled Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section, Originally Produced by Lester Koenig, Sound by Roy DuNunn, Originally Recorded at Contemporary's Studio in Los Angeles on January 19 in 1957 - "By the time of this, Art Pepper's tenth recording as a leader, he was making his individual voice on the alto saxophone leave the cozy confines of his heroes Charlie Parker and Lee Konitz. Joining the Miles Davis rhythm section of pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe Jones made the transformation all that more illuminating. It's a classic east meets west, cool plus hot but never lukewarm combination that provides many bright moments for the quartet during this exceptional date from that great year in music, 1957. A bit of a flip, loosened but precise interpretation of the melody on "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To" gets the ball rolling, followed by a "Bags Groove" parallel with "Red Pepper Blues," and a delicate, atypical treatment of "Imagination." A compositional collaboration of Pepper and Chambers on the quick "Waltz Me Blues" and hard-edged, running-as-fast-as-he-can take of "Straight Life" really sets the gears whirring. Philly Joe Jones is a great bop drummer, no doubt, one of the all-time greats with Kenny Clarke and Max Roach. His crisp Latin-to-swing pace for "Tin Tin Deo" deserves notice, masterful in its creation and seamlessness. Pepper makes a typical "Star Eyes" brighter, and he goes into a lower octave tone, more like a tenor, for "Birks Works" and the bonus track "The Man I Love." It's clear he has heard his share of Stan Getz in this era. Though Art Pepper played with many a potent trio, this one inspires him to the maximum, and certainly makes for one of his most substantive recordings after his initial incarcerations, and before his second major slip into the deep abyss of drug addiction." - Spectacular Personnel for the Quartet Features Legendary Composer Art Pepper on Alto Saxophone, the Great Red Garland on Piano, the Brilliant Paul Chambers on Bass and the Amazing "Philly" Joe Jones on Drums! - Selections on Side 1 Are Cole Porter's You'd Be So Nice to Come Home to, the Art Pepper/Red Garland Penned Red Pepper Blues, the Johnny Burke/Jimmy Van Heusen Standard Imagination, the Art Pepper/Paul Chambers Song Waltz Me Blues & Original Art Pepper Composition Straight Life - Tracks for Side 2 Consist of the Tom Delaney Classic Jazz Me Blues, Chano Pozo's Tin Tin Deo, the Gene De Paul/Don Raye Standard Star Eyes and the Dizzy Gillespie Penned Birks Works - Used Copy, Cover Near Mint, Record Mint- - Japanese Import, Jazz Library 1500 Series, Product Code GXC-3101 - California Residents Add 9.75% Sales Tax - International S & H Extra -
