Art Pepper had not touched his horn in 6 months prior to this recording...his girl told him the morning of the session....miles was in town, and Red Garland, mr. PC and philly joe were waiting...Art was shooting herion for months...(read his book..STRAIGHT LIFE)..,He could not back out...so he found a good reed and had to walk in like everything was cool...A true genius...never practiced. ever(Except in THE Q) Spent more than half his life in prison....this is perhaps his most definitive work....play the entire album and be Amazed at the most influential post Charlie Parker alto man...he won a5star rating from down beat magazine...their highest honor...so dig the cool, smoking hot like DRY ICE.
