Music reviews of Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section
Music Review: Even without Pepper's tall tales, the album is great
Rating: 5 Stars
Just to clarify some misinformation, unfortunately perpetuated first by Mr. Pepper himself, and taken for the truth by many an innocuous listener. The truth is, Art had played within six months, in fact so recently as five days prior! Did the man have no memory of the sessions on Dec. 11 '56 with Bill Perkins for the album "Just Friends," Dec. 28 '56 and Jan. 14 '57 that produced his own "Modern Art" album on Aladdin? I suppose the drugs might be blamed for memory loss, but I suspect it's safe to assume there was not a little myth-building in his autobiography, not only regarding "Meets the Rhythm Section." In any case, the music is jazz at its finest.
Also, a word about Les Koenig, the producer, saying Art hadn't recorded with musicians up to the caliber of Miles' rhythm section until this album; that's pure crap. Art, throughout 1956 recorded with the likes of Russ Freeman, Curtis Counce, Jimmy Heath, Carl Perkins, Ben Tucker, Shelly Manne, Chet Baker, Richie Kamuca (have I convinced you yet?) Bill Perkins, Warne Marsh, Stan Levey, Red Mitchell, Pete Jolly...
In any case, the album is great, and a great starting point if your just discovering the other greatest altoist (Lee Konitz is the other) after Charlie Parker (chronologically, that is). Enjoy!
Description of Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section
This CD contains two complete albums showcasing Art Pepper in a quartet setting: 1957's Meets the Rhythm Section, featuring Miles Davis' legendary rhythm section of Red Garland, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones, and 1956's Marty Paich Quartet Featuring Art Pepper. 19 tracks. Essential Jazz Classics.The rhythm section in question here belonged to Miles Davis in Los Angeles, one fine day in January 1957. Pepper had made a name for himself in Stan Kenton's band, but this was really the first time he found himself in the studio with a rhythm section such as Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones. In his fascinating biography, Straight Life, Pepper tells the story of the date when, after not playing for six months, he was told of the session that morning. He pieced together a broken horn, went in, and blew. Not completely remembering the first tune "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To," he voices a line that both invokes the melody and refashions it. The rest of the session shows just how high Pepper rose to the occasion. It's one of the most important recordings of his career. --Michael Monhart
