martini Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I received my Pepper box (and the Evans The Secret Sessions) yesterday and the discs, although used, look completely mint. Same with the Evans set. I'm quite pleased with the purchase and the timely shipping. If they had nine Pepper sets in stock last week, as their website claimed, they must have sold them to everyone here on this thread (or close to it).

Chuck Nessa Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) I believe the "9 in stock" is a default message indicating number beyond 8. Would you buy if the number was 118? Edited March 26, 2009 by Chuck Nessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Mine arrived here yesterday, in perfect condition, a steal at $ 11.76 ... Pepper's self-consciousness is telling ... all brilliance nonwithstanding, it shines through that he was quite some junkie. If only Lester Koenig hadn't sent back the Steinway, and the drums wouldn't sound so tinny - bass drum like a washing powder drum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 For curious folks, the dismissed bassist was Steve Rodby. On his way to the Vanguard, Pepper played a week in Chicago.I attended each performance at the Jazz Showcase. At the end of the gig Art asked Steve to go along to NY for the recordings. Steve did ok after that experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I just got The Secret Sessions today. Under the shrinkwrap are 2 stickers stating "Used," but the material is obviously untouched. Nice package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this board! Cheers, Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Wow....I finally got through listening to the final discs of the set this morning. Probably the best $13 bucks I've ever spent! My discs were in mint condition, as was the book. The box had a tad bit of wear on the corners, and a loud, orange sticker across the top, but I really don't care about those types of things anymore. This music is incredible, and at that price, it was an absolute steal. This board has given me so much over the years, and the heads up on this incredible bargain is just the latest, greatest example. LOVE THIS PLACE! I hope the O-Board is around forever!

You're kidding, right? To me, the picture represents music as an IV to the soul... something that provides nourishment to the living organism. If you've chosen to view it in another way, that's certainly your choice... but that's just it, your choice. Joel, I have tremendous respect for you, your work as a musician, and your posts... so I have no intention of a flame war with you at all. I hope you understand where I'm coming from on this.

I have to think there was more involved. Are Art's tunes all that much more difficult than most jazz comps? As usual, Laurie's notes go into great detail (almost more than we need to know) about Art's problems and the convoluted/difficult background to the session. Interesting to hear Art tell the audience that the previous bassist had to "fly home because his mother was very, very ill."

I love his playing with Pat Metheny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
