Recommended Posts

Not sure if this is "new release" material or a re-issue with some bonus tracks maybe, but it looks like Elemental Music is putting out this CD along with a 40 page booklet in a digipack in September.

No listing yet at Amazon U.S. or on the Elemental website but I'm sure it will appear soon.

where more info can be found as well:

 

A NEWLY DISCOVERED LIVE CLUB DATE

AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ANY FORMAT

Art Pepper, one of the most prolific and gifted alto saxophonists in jazz, brought his quartet: Milcho Leviev, piano; George Mraz, bass; and Al Foster, drums, to Fat Tuesday’s, the number one jazz club in New York City in the early ‘80s, shortly before his untimely death of a brain hemorrhage in 1982. This recording is an excellent example of late-period Pepper, preserving an incredibly live atmosphere and with a sound balance reproducing all the four players to an acceptable standard. It acts as a solid reminder of the reasons for the altoist’s positive and lasting contribution, which is far and away more significant than the reputation he earned on the wrong side of the law.

PERSONNEL:

ART PEPPER, alto sax
MILCHO LEVIEV, piano
GEORGE MRAZ, bass
AL FOSTER, drums

Recorded live at Fat Tuesday’s in New York on April 15, 1981.

CONTAINS A 40-PAGE BOOKLET

TRACKS:

01 Rhythm-A-Ning
02 What Is This Thing Called Love?
03 Goodbye
04 Make A List, Make A Wish

TOTAL TIME: 70:43

although me being a die hard Art Pepper fan, initially I planed to miss out on this one (due to a number of quality live outings from that time available/in my possession). After reading the track listing things might change, as both Pepper and especially Leviev are truly magnificent on the few occasions they perform "Goodbye" (to my knowledge only on "Live at Ronnie Scott`s" and on the qualitywise unfortunately substandard tape recording from Geneva supplied via Laurie Pepper)
