Review:The recording quality is not the greatest on
this 1980 Lp but the very early session by the Lighthouse All-Stars is
both historic and quite listenable. Trumpeter Shorty Rogers teams up with
altoist Art Pepper, pianist
Frank Patchen, bassist Howard Rumsey and drummer Shelly Manne for his own
"Popo" (a blues that was Shorty's theme song) plus nine jazz standards
including "Lullaby In Rhythm," "Robbins Nest," "Scrapple From The Apple"
and "Cherokee." This is one of Pepper's best early showcases and it is for
his playing that the album is most highly recommended. -- Scott Yanow, All
