by Peter J. Hoetjes
A Man and His Word Art Pepper's career as an alto saxophonist is often said to exist in two eras, separated by incarceration and marriage, joined together by a penchant for substance abuse.

Malo: Latin Bugaloo: The Warner Bros. Singles

Art Pepper: Neon Art: Volume 2
by C. Michael Bailey

by Doug Collette
