| Review:This was the first and last time
Pepper worked with
Jordan, and came about as a
result of
Pepper's usual pianist,
George Cables, being unable to
make the dates at Club Montmartre in Copenhagen. To
Pepper's dismay, Danmarks Radio
decided to record the first gig of the Montmartre series.
Pepper need not have worried --
the show was a rousing success, with the band tackling a set of standards
(and a couple of
Pepper originals) with such verve
and determination that relatively simple tunes turned into astounding solo
workouts (there are several drum and bass solos to be heard on this
record), the amazing highlight of which is a shot at "Besame Mucho" that
rounds out to twenty-two minutes.
Art Pepper was in the process of
dying at the time this recording was made, but there's no lack of energy,
no loss of vitality. A two-CD live jazz set that's well worth having and
should not be overlooked. -- Steven McDonald, All Music Guide
