Art PEPPER - Artworks 1979

Art PEPPER - Artworks  1979
Label: Galaxy
Recording at: Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, CA, May 25 & 26, 1979


The performances on this Galaxy LP are essentially outtakes and leftovers from Art Pepper's 1979 sessions for Artists House. However, the quality is quite high, making one wonder why this material was not released until 1984. "Body and Soul" and "You Go to My Head" are particularly special, for they are unaccompanied alto solos, and on "Anthropology," Pepper has a rare outing on clarinet. The remaining numbers "Desafinado," "Donna Lee" and "Blues for Blanche" feature the great altoist with pianist George Cables, bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Billy Higgins. All of the highly enjoyable and bop-based but explorative music has since been reissued on CD in Pepper's 16-CD Galaxy box set.
