Alto Saxophone – Art Pepper Bass – Buddy Clark Drums – Frank Capp Piano – Marty Paich Recorded: 1956

Closing my night by digging my way through this wonderful box set from Pure Pleasure Records of Art Pepper’s 1980 stay at London’s Ronnie Scott Club. The seven (7!!!) LP’s that make up this box contain Art’s complete shows during his engagement at the club. The band is Art, Milcho Leviev, Tony Dumas, and Carl Burnnett. To say these guys were smoking is to do that term an injustice. Art was in top form, and his playing truly inspired his band mates. Parts of these four sets were originally released on two LP’s, “Blues For The Fisherman” and “True Blues” on the Mole Jazz label (good luck trying to find a copy of either, especially in mint condition). So getting these sets reissued in their entirety is a blessing. Mastered by Ray Staff and pressed at Palas, you know these albums are going to sound the best they can. If you care anything for jazz, you better get on the stick and contact @purepleasurerecords as to availability. I hear this box is starting to get low. This box comes with my highest recommendation. #lp #boxset #jazz #music #liverecording #artpepper #stereo #album #albumcover #record #recordcollector #recordcollection #analog #audio #vinyl #vinylcollection #highend #purepleasurerecords #audiophile #audiophilepressings (at Vermont) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsHH26PAEQx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7biy4x0icb0i

“Art was a player of unusual delicacy and lyricism who, at the same time, was soulful and could really swing.” 957/945 #artpepper #jazzmaster #artpepperofficial #legend #jazz #saxophone #altosaxophone https://www.instagram.com/p/CTkry2-LsRd/?utm_medium=tumblr

Collections is an album by vibraphonist Red Norvo, saxophonist Art Pepper, drummer Joe Morello and pianist Gerry Wiggins recorded in early 1957 originally released on the Intro label.

“There are people who will try to tell you that Art Pepper’s best work was all done for Contemporary before 1960, and that his work after 1975 was an interesting but minor postscript. If they do, you need say nothing. Just play them this album. Case dismissed.” – John Eyles/AllAboutJazz.
