Art Pepper: Unreleased Art Pepper, Vol. VII and Neon Art

Read "Art Pepper: Unreleased Art Pepper, Vol. VII and Neon Art" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

At the time, Art Pepper was enjoying his comeback, which began in 1975 with the release of Living Legend (Contemporary), hitting its stride in ...

Art Pepper: Blues For The Fisherman

Read "Blues For The Fisherman" reviewed by Greg Simmons


What jumps out of Art Pepper's Blues for the Fisherman is his alto saxophone's boldness and overt expressiveness. If prior exposure has only scratched the surface of Pepper's work--perhaps with the ubiquitous Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section (Contemporary, 1957)--this live recording fairly smashes expectations of a polite, cool performance. Recorded in two nights at Ronnie ...

Recorded during a European tour by Pepper's “comeback quartet" with drummer Carl Burnett, bassist Bob Magnusson and pianist Milcho Leviev, Unreleased Art Vol. 5: Stuttgart May 25, 1981 is a genuine labor of love: Not only the performers' love of music but also the devotion of this alto saxophonist's fans, who sent their own recordings of ...

Art Pepper: Jazz Showcase, Chicago

Read "Jazz Showcase, Chicago" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


This 1977 Chicago Art Pepper performance was bootlegged in Spain. As it was stolen to begin with, the saxophonist's widow, Laurie Pepper re-purloined it, releasing it on her independent Widow's Taste label. That is the beauty of today's technology. Historically, this show came in the middle of Pepper's East Coast Tour capping the saxophonist's comeback before ...

Art Pepper: Unreleased Art Volume 4: The Art History Project

Read "Unreleased Art Volume 4: The Art History Project" reviewed by Jeff Stockton


In her liner notes to Volume IV of the Art History Project, Art Pepper's widow describes him as a self-hating, alcoholic sex addict who turned to heroin in order to suppress these tendencies. Second only to Charlie Parker in the DownBeat polls of the day, nobody played alto saxophone as smooth and cool as Art Pepper. ...
