Review:Other than a set for Bill Berry's Beez label, this obscure instrumental Japanese LP was trumpeter Jack Sheldon's first as a leader since 1969. Mostly of interest due to the pairing of Sheldon with altoist Art Pepper, the Los Angeles date (with pianist Milcho Leviev, bassist Tony Dumas and drummer Carl Burnette) finds the group mostly sticking to jazz standards (including Gigi Gryce's "Minority," which is mistakenly attributed to Pepper). Few fireworks occur, although the musicians play well, particularly on Pepper's "Angel Wings," "Jack's Blues" and "Broadway." -- Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
