It is very good. It is on my list above.

I just listened to Duke Ellington Copenhagen 1964 via download from Apple music. It had good sound and the music was terrific.

Schubert - Piano Sonatas D.575 and D,845

Now disc 2 to chill after a stressful thang.

played a bit more of it and read up on the sidemen... apparently pianist Chris Gage was some sort of unrecorded local hero https://www.jazzstreetvancouver.ca/artists/44/ https://thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/chris-gage-emc and even though some tapes featuring him have appeared before (e.g. an archival release with Fraser McPherson), four CDs with Art Pepper is fairly massive for his legacy... that said, while all four players are clearly audible, the focus was apparently on capturing Pepper well - which worked out nicely...

Now spinning this LP: Richard Thompson - Amnesia (Capitol, 1988)

Hooray for Ives!

Rummaging around in this set.

If anyone is interested, this is the discussion from the Hegel folks from yesterday. Unfortunately I didn't win the drawing but educational nonetheless.

Not that I am aware of, there are various things from the early 50s (e.g. on Xanadu) but I wouldn't know of other live Pepper from the late 50s when he recorded his famous Contemporary albums

Mopro Records M 106 - Blue Wisp Big Band " Live At Carmelo's" - rec. 1984 - Engineer: Jim Mooney

Agreed

Last night at his gig, I bought Jaleel Shaw's "The Soundtrack Of Things To Come" (Changu Records). I have yet to play it but at first glance, whoever is in charge of their graphics need to take a better peek at the final artwork before sending it to the printer. I can't read all of the track names, even with my reading glasses. Whoever did the scan for discogs cranked up the contrast & brightness significantly. The original looks much darker than this scan.
