Art Pepper mostly sticks to standards on this Discovery LP, but he brings out new life in the veteran songs, particularly on such ballads as "Round Midnight," "What's New" and "Besame Mucho." With the assistance of pianist Russ Freeman, bassist Bob Magnusson and drummer Frank Butler, the great altoist (who is heard just prior to signing an exclusive contract with the Galaxy label) is also in top form on such pieces as "What Is This Thing Called Love" and "I'll Remember April." An excellent (if not quite essential) release.
Originally released on the Discovery label in 1978 here's a fairly recent Japanese re-issue. Although not in good physical shape at the time of this recording you would never know that from his performances here. It's always been one of my favourite of his 'later' releases.
Personnel:
Art Pepper - alto sax
Russ Freeman - piano
Bob Magnussen - bass
Frank Butler - drums
Recorded: September 2, 1978 Hollywood, CA
