Music reviews of Way It Was
Music Review: Belated release of some classic music
Rating: 5 Stars
Hard to believe these sides sat in a can till 1972. The main feature is Side A of the original LP: a November 1956 session with Warne Marsh (thus predating Pepper's first Contemporary release, the classic _...Meets the Rhythm Section_, which was recorded in Jan. 1957), with Ronnie Ball on piano, Ben Tucker on bass & Gary Frommer on drums. It's tremendous stuff (augmented on CD issue with a few alternate takes)--they tackle "Tickle Toe", "All the Things You Are", "What's New", & "I Can't Believe That You're in Love With Me" (the last two being particular favourites of Pepper's: there are plenty of recorded versions to compare in his canon). It's a real pity Marsh & Pepper only recorded together on one other occasion (a Vanguard disc with Ted Brown also on board): the partnership here is as heady & fine-drawn as any Marsh/Konitz pairing in the 1950s. The rest of the disc is outtakes from other Contemporary dates, but there's no particular reason why they were left off the original discs (except time restrictions, I guess): certainly the uptempo "The Man I Love" from the _...Meets the Rhythm Section_ session is as fine as any of the originally released tracks, & there are also good things here left over from _Intensity_ & _Gettin' Together_.
I still don't fathom why, in this boxed-set-obsessed market, there's not a proper set of all Pepper's Contemporary sides--surely there's more in the can than has yet seen light? In any case, this disc shows how much fine music got left out the first time round. Liner notes are by Pepper himself "told to Laurie Miller", & thus a dry run of sorts for the oral-history approach of his autobiography _Straight Life_.
