5.0 out of 5 stars My 2nd favorite Art Pepper disc, July 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of Pepper (The Complete Aladdin Recordings, Vol. 3) (Audio CD)
This music is from Art Pepper's greates session. It competes with Modern Art in contention for his best recording. The recording quality is excellent (even by today's standards) although a couple of the 12 tracks are a bit crackly. Most of it is essential.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Omega Tapes!, June 13, 2000
By 
This review is from: The Art of Pepper (The Complete Aladdin Recordings, Vol. 3) (Audio CD)
Here are the famous "Omega Tapes," a cookin' session with a perfect rhythm section. The definitive version of "Holiday Flight" and killer playing on "Webb City" and "Begin the Beguine." All in all, one of the best 1950's sessions from Pepper--right up there with the Contemporary Records classics that followed it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Art Pepper and Carl Perkins together. Run for cover!, February 8, 2009
This review is from: The Art of Pepper (The Complete Aladdin Recordings, Vol. 3) (Audio CD)
This is small group jazz at its most exciting and quite simply one of the greatest jazz albums of all time, so what is it doing out of print? No one could match Art Pepper in melodic invention or swing, and he had the best tone of any alto player ever. Pepper's style was so distinct and so exciting, he remains readily identifiable within about three notes. And while Pepper made masses of great recordings, he is really on fire for this one, on which he was joined by another great -- and fellow heroin addict -- pianist Carl Perkins, whose addiction turned deadly and cut short his career. Perkins nevertheless left behind a monumental body of work in his recordings with the Curtis Counce Group and with this album. The combination of Pepper and Perkins, who had a regular working band for a few months, was explosive, and these recording suggest that this was truly the lost great band of the 1950s. Its intense swing and immense improvisatory invention is almost too much to be contained in a single album. Hey, Amazon, is there any way to give six stars?
