Art PEPPER - The Art Pepper Quartet 1956

Art PEPPER - The Art Pepper Quartet 1956
(No Alternate Takes)

Jazz

Originally released on the defunct Tampa label and then on CD by the small V.S.O.P. label, this album features the great altoist Art Pepper with pianist Russ Freeman, bassist Ben Tucker and drummer Gary Frommer. Despite the inclusion of five alternate takes, there is still only around 41 minutes of music but the quality is high; even with his erratic lifestyle, Pepper never made a bad record. Highlights include Art's original "Diane," "Besame Mucho" and "Pepper Pot." Fine music, but not essential when one considers how many gems Art Pepper recorded during his rather hectic life.

"The Art Pepper Quartet," originally recorded for the Tampa label and reissued on CD by OJC, is one of the alto-saxophonist's best early albums. The session was recorded on November 25, 1956 and features Russ Freeman on piano, Ben Tucker on bass, and Gary Frommer on drums. "The Tampa Quartet," as it is affectionately referred to by collectors, along with the three volumes of the Complete Aladdin Recordings on Blue Note (two of which are currently out-of-print), are without a doubt his best work from the early to mid-1950s, and should be preferred hands down to titles like "Surf Ride" (see my review). With that being said, this disc gets four stars for two reasons. Even with five alternate takes the CD logs in at less than 45 minutes, and there are just so many other classic Pepper CDs available from OJC, including "Smack Up," "Intensity," "Meets the Rhythm Section" and "Gettin' Together" (see my review of the latter) that interested parties should start elsewhere and work their way to "Tampa."

Art PEPPER & George CABLES - Tete a Tete 1982


Art PEPPER & George CABLES - Tete a Tete 1982
Recorded at Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California on April 13 & 14 and May 11, 1982

Jazz

As I write this I realise how strange my idea sounds, but listening to this Album I couldn't help thinking of Bach at times. Not the Bach of the florid, ornate, multi-instrumental compositions, but the Bach of the pared-down, concentrated pieces for one or two players. You can listen to them again and again, and seemingly simple patterns of notes change each time to reveal something new. That's just what Art Pepper and George Cables give us here. These saxophone / piano duets are striking in their bare exposed emotion and spirit. This is a wonderful memorial from a troubled but magnificently skilled musician. It's hard to believe these tracks were recorded only a few weeks before Art Pepper's death in June 1982: he sounds on top form throughout and there's no hint of waning powers. I think these are some of the most impressive performances of his career. His was always a very emotional, intense style of playing but also entirely unforced. There were no artificial mannerisms or tricks on display. You got the impression that whatever instrument he had chosen, you would always have heard Art Pepper first and foremost, with the instrument simply being a channel for his feelings. This is even more the case here. He and George Cables had played together many times before and the benefits are obvious. The performances seem relaxed and confident, and the resulting music is well-balanced with each player fitting in to the other's style naturally. If this last sentence makes it all seem a little bit 'easy-listening', it is anything but. Stripped down to the bones, Pepper's alto and Cables' piano produce some riveting sounds which demand re-listening again and again. With hindsight, 'Over The Rainbow' seems a perfect reflective summary of Pepper's own life: the yearning for the unattainable, which in his case, with his well-publicised drug problems, had almost brought him to an even earlier end. The selection of tracks, with standards like 'Round Midnight', 'Darn that Dream' and 'Body and Soul' are as if Pepper was intent on showing he had overcome his own demons and wanted to record his definitive versions for posterity. These are classic performances and whole-heartedly recommended.

Art PEPPER - Mosaic Select 1956-57


Art PEPPER - Mosaic Select 1956-57
(Vol.15)

Jazz

This 3-cd Art Pepper box (Mosaic Select #15) is about as hip as it gets, essential if you're into Pepper or mid-'50's West Coast jazz in general.

Mosaic is Michael Cuscuna's jazz collector label, well-known for limited edition collections re-mastered from original master tapes. If you're not familiar with the label, be assured that this is a professionally produced set of the highest quality. Be aware, too, that these sets do go out of print, so if this one looks like something you'll like, now's the time to pick it up.

The sessions here are all from 1956 and 1957. Cuscuna has issued most of this on cd before, on a series of three fine cd's released in 1989 on the Blue Note label - The Return of Art Pepper, Modern Art, and The Art of Pepper.

A decade and a half later, Cuscuna has returned to the master tapes again for new re-mastering to great effect, and has added a couple of other sessions from the same time period. There are nine tunes here featuring Art Pepper on dates with Joe Morello or Bill Perkins that did not appear on the old Blue Note cd's.

Now if only Mosaic would bring to cd the collection of Art Pepper's Pacific Jazz recordings from '56 and '57 that they released (on lp only) years ago . . .
By Steven Kosakowski.

Featuring Art Pepper's 1956 and 1957 Aladdin sessions, which have been issued on The Return of Art Pepper (Jazz West), Collections (Intro), Modern Art (Blue Note), Just Friends (Pacific Jazz), Solo Flight (Pacific Jazz), The Art of Pepper (Omega) and The Art of the Art (Nadja), Mosaic's 3-CD boxed set portrays the alto saxophonist in familiar company, full of life and at his best. The collection includes several bonus tracks, alternate takes, and material that was previously available only on reel-to-reel tape.

Mosaic's 24-bit re-mastering provides a clear sound that lets you appreciate this artist who "grew" from Bird and who helped pioneer the cool school of West Coast Jazz. Pepper's attack was fast, fluid, and quick to turn on a dime. He was equally adept at animated bebop antics as with a tender ballad.

Paul Desmond's musical character was light and rhythmically swinging. Cannonball Adderley poured emotion from the heart. Sonny Stitt dove headfirst at a wild and furious pace, while Phil Woods and Richie Cole have been linked to a balanced set of musical skills that have allowed them to follow any path they choose. Pepper's alto saxophone tone proved to be light, resilient, and filled with rich overtones. He gave his audiences an upbeat feeling to go along with the rhythmic syncopation and spontaneous improvisation of mainstream jazz.

Ten tracks include trumpeter Jack Sheldon with Pepper, Russ Freeman, Leroy Vinnegar and Shelly Manne. This quintet captures the essence of West Coast Jazz. On "Straight Life," the alto saxophonist drives with a hearty bebop character, as Red Norvo, Gerald Wiggins, Ben Tucker and Joe Morello help to push the session's animated character into high gear. Released in Morello's name, this one and four more tracks feature Pepper's clear instrumental voice with added emphasis from the drummer, including extended solos and trading fours. Pepper plays tenor on "Tenor Blooz," a rip-roaring adventure that features Norvo in animated, bebop-driven action.

The ten selections from Modern Art feature Pepper's quartet with Freeman, Tucker and drummer Chuck Flores. His alto saxophone soars lightly with a delicate air. "Blues In" and "Blues Out" walk at a slow pace with heavy, underlying emotion, and "Summertime" drifts slowly with enduring passion. Familiar standards and Pepper's fresh originals combine to give the listener a mixture of up-tempo bebop and beautiful ballads.

Five selections from Just Friends under Bill Perkins' name, feature a quintet with Pepper, saxophonist Perkins, pianist Jimmy Rowles, bassist Tucker, and drummer Mel Lewis. Perkins' tenor adds a warm quality that complements Pepper's free-flowing melodies. Their integrated harmony gives the session an exotic character.

Twelve tracks from The Art of Pepper and three alternate takes from feature Pepper's quartet with pianist Carl Perkins, bassist Tucker and drummer Flores (Disc-3). Their interpretation of classic songs in the bebop tradition comes from the mainstream with consistent results. Pepper is fluid, Perkins comps and solos with force, Tucker walks the bass conversationally, and Flores colors every song with complementary textures. The Latin beat of "Beguine the Beguine" provides an exotic ambience. "Summertime" turns out dry and empty. "Body and Soul" keeps much of its luster through Pepper's heartfelt interpretation of the melody; however, Perkins' piano counterpoint proves heavy-handed and unnecessarily dense.

While Disc-3 remains the weakest of the 3-CD set, Mosaic Select 15 brings Art Pepper into our living rooms with great care paid to re-mastering his original sound. The adventures are varied, but the alto saxophonist provides us with nearly four hours of great memories. Recommended, this Art Pepper compilation captures the spirit of a bright light from jazz's not so distant past.

Art PEPPER - The Trip 1977


Art PEPPER - The Trip 1977
Label: Ojc / Storyville
Recorded at Contemporary's Studio, Los Angeles, California on September 15 & 16, 1976

Jazz

When The Trip was recorded in 1976, Art Pepper was more than a year into the artistic renewal whose recorded beginning had been marked by the astonishing Living Legend session (OJC-408). Rather to his amazement, Pepper was finding that not only had listeners, musicians, and critics not forgotten him, they were rejoicing in his comeback. Nourished by the acclaim, and the resulting work, the alto saxophonist went into the Contemporary studios with elements of optimism and anger. The relentlessly swinging, probing drummer Elvin Jones stimulated every aspect of Pepper's musical and emotional range, and he produced memorable solos. Included is a previously unreleased version of the Moorishly moody title tune.With George Cables, David Williams, Elvin Jones.
From Concord.
**
Art Pepper made a name for himself around Los Angeles in the '50s as a leading light in the style then known as West Coast jazz  a cool alternative to the hot hard bop being made in East Coast cities like New York and Philadelphia. Pepper never really fit the cool stereotype, however; he was too incendiary a soloist (influenced by Lester Young, perhaps, and Bird certainly), more inclined to inject overt anger and passion into his playing than contemporaries like Getz or Mulligan. By the time these sides were made in 1976, any residual coolness had been displaced by hot emotionalism and an almost manic intensity. The lessons of John Coltrane had clearly been absorbed, harmonically and otherwise; not only was Pepper more assertive than ever, but he also took more chances. Polish is for shoes and fingernails: by the late '70s Pepper was rough, raw, and nakedly vulnerable. Every solo this late in his career was an adventure. On this record the adventure is joined by ex-Coltrane drummer Elvin Jones, who doesn't interact with Pepper as much as one might expect, but nevertheless puts down the hard grooves the altoist needed to be at his best. There's a bit of a tentative cast to much of this record, almost as if the musicians were not yet completely comfortable with one another. Pepper's playing is first-rate, however: his interpretation of Michel Legrand's melody, "The Summer Knows," is by itself worth the price of the album. Given that he would not live many years longer after its recording, this one is a keeper.

Art PEPPER - Artworks 1979


Art PEPPER - Artworks  1979
Label: Galaxy
Recording at: Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, CA, May 25 & 26, 1979


The performances on this Galaxy LP are essentially outtakes and leftovers from Art Pepper's 1979 sessions for Artists House. However, the quality is quite high, making one wonder why this material was not released until 1984. "Body and Soul" and "You Go to My Head" are particularly special, for they are unaccompanied alto solos, and on "Anthropology," Pepper has a rare outing on clarinet. The remaining numbers "Desafinado," "Donna Lee" and "Blues for Blanche" feature the great altoist with pianist George Cables, bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Billy Higgins. All of the highly enjoyable and bop-based but explorative music has since been reissued on CD in Pepper's 16-CD Galaxy box set.

Art PEPPER - The Return Of Art Pepper 1957


Art PEPPER - The Return Of Art Pepper 1957
Label: BLUE NOTE
Audio CD: (3 Feb 2003)

Jazz

Blue Note's The Return of Art Pepper: The Complete Art Pepper Aladdin Recordings compiles the 13 final masters that the alto saxophonist recorded for Aladdin between August 1956 and January 1957. These are titled The Return of Art Pepper, since they were recorded shortly after he completed a jail sentence in 1956. As a result, Pepper's chops are a little rusty, but you can hear that he still has a passion for playing, and he does improve over the course of these tracks. For serious Pepper fans, it's worth a listen, but for less dedicated fans, there are better places to become acquainted with his work.
By Stephen Thomas Erlewine. AMG.
**
This album embodies the West Coast Cool sound of the late 50's/early 60's. Pepper is unfailingly melodic and lays back behind the beat. It's much different than the explosive approach of Charlie Parker. "Your Mean to Me" which includes vibes is a perfect example of the ambience. "Mambo de la Pinta" is a great pick-me-up. My mood is always better after hearing that selection. If you like straight-ahead melodic jazz of that era I think you will enjoy this album. A wonderful musician expressing a particular time and place.
