Music reviews of Art Standards
Music Review: Go Hollywood?
Rating: 5 Stars
This collection of Art Pepper's Galaxy recordings is a "best of" selection from sessions he made between 1979 and 1982 that were gathered together for a boxed set. The nine songs on the disc place Pepper in a variety of settings--with Bill Watrous on trombone and Jack Sheldon on trumpet with Pete Jolly, and with Russ Freeman on piano and Carl Burnett on drums. There is a gloriously lyrical version of "Begin the Beguine" featuring Watrous and a classic rendition of "You'd Be So nice To Come Home To" as well as a simply wonderful version of "Night and Day." The latter track may be among the best recordings of that song ever. Four of the tracks feature Sonny Stitt on alto. "Bernie's Tune," "How High the Moon," "My Funny Valentine," and "Imagination" contrast Stitt and Pepper (and it's fun trying to distinguish them) and at the same time demonstrate that Art Pepper may very well have been the greatest alto player since Bird. He was certainly as great an improviser and a greater risk taker than either Stitt or Lee Konitz, who is featured on two tracks in the collection. All in all this is a great collection of the always lyrical and original Art Pepper.
