Has there ever been an Art Pepper ...

[neveronfriday]

I just came across a text which mentioned an Art Pepper CD entitled "Jazz Masters". No further info, but with the following titles supposedly on there:

01 - The way you look tonight

02 - Softly, as in a morning sunrise

03 -Airegin

04 - Anthropology

05 - Whims of Chambers

06 - Rhythm-a-ning

07 - Opus de funk

08 - 'Round midnight

09 - Why are we afraid

10 - Gettin' together

11 - Walkin' shoes

12 - Shaw nuff

Does anyone have anymore info (label, release date) on this CD, if it existed/exists? I was unable to find any via Google.

Thanks

Edit: On freedb.org it's listed without any additional info as "The Jazz Masters". Is that that weird French 100 years series?

Seems to be a compilation of Contemporary titles.

[neveronfriday]

Yes.

Thanks Chuck.

I assume it's some European job.

I think "Jazz Masters" was a japanese series of artist compilations (Fantasy material) from the late 80's.

Well, if anyone has more info I'd appreciate it. I've been searching Google thin, but so far no luck. Maybe I'm also too dumb.

Thanks!

Well, I give up.

The only other info I could unearth is that there must've been a Buddy de Franco disk in the series as well.

Speaking of Art Pepper, I recently found Art Pepper and Duke Jordan in Copengagen, a Galaxy 2CD release from eight or so years ago that had escaped my notice. George Cables was late arriving for a European tour, so this is his working group, with Mr. Jordan substituting on piano. This is a very outstanding concert recording that, due to the substitution, focuses on bebop classics (and related standards), rather than on the pieces that he typicially performed live during this period that are otherwise pretty well documented. Another wonderful addition to Art Pepper's late period discography that's a little different from the norm.
