5.0 out of 5 stars Definitive Pepper, May 24, 1998

Made during Pepper's late 70's comeback period, this set has the definitive version of Pepper's ballad Patricia. Pepper reaches a deep emotional core in the solo on this much-played (by him) tune, his beautiful sound coupled with an intensity not always present in his early recordings. The playing is excellent throughout, with highlights on Miss Who?, and These Foolish Things.

If you don't own any Pepper, "Meets The Rhythm Section" is where to start, but this would be a fine second choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Art Pepper, so authentic, January 18, 2008

By 

Antonio "Antonio de Espańa" (Madrid Spain) - See all my reviews

This comeback of Art Pepper meant the performance of excellent albums, this one and one year later other of my favourites, "So in love". Love was making its way on Art's music and he was able to perform beautifully. He blew so naturally, showing his feelings rawly from his guts. Art Pepper shows he was the prototype of a musician and fame made him hurt although he liked it. Really he never was thinking of making the most commercial album but the most honest album instead. This album is the evidence and the quartet as a whole made a real jewel. Enjoy it, you won't be disappointed.
