Art Pepper: Unreleased Art Vol. 1

The Complete Abashiri Concert

VOLUME 1 is a two disc set, a complete concert performed in Abashiri, in Northern Japan, in the snowy winter of 1981 for an audience who showered Art and the guys with uncommon enthusiasm and wild love. They responded with a performance that seems to levitate with energy. You get to be there and hear Art declare this performance of “Body and Soul" “one of the best things I ever played in my life." Mastered by Wayne Peet, the quality is excellent. (Included: an eight page booklet with reminiscences and photos by Laurie)
