| Review: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. -- Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |
