Art Pepper: The Hollywood All-Star Sessions

Read "The Hollywood All-Star Sessions" reviewed by Jack Bowers

Jazz had become commercialized, fusionized, rock infested, and raped. Even the modest amount of mainstream fare that was being released to little public notice seemed to pale in comparison with the ...

Philly Joe Jones: Philly Mignon

Read "Philly Mignon" reviewed by Derek Taylor


Pun-laden title aside this is a gourmet collection of hard swinging jazz. Philly Joe in his later years may have been a shade less audacious than in his youth, but you’d never know it listening to his bristling precision traps work on these five tracks.
