New Art Pepper Box 1959 - Live at the Cellar

[tranemonk]

Even though I have a ton of Art... I'm very interested in this one and likely to grab it. 

Thoughts???

He's playing with guys I've never really heard of, which doesn't matter overall, but I'd love to hear some samples regardless.

This looks like something I would order, though probably the digital version.  It isn't clear if the liner notes would come with the digital download, though I would hope they would.

Thanks. I am a big Art pepper fan and this looks very promising.

However, the following (highlighted by me) has me a bit wary:

"Everything Happens To Me: 1959 – Live At The Cellar utilizes a fly-on-the-wall approach that includes all the existing music as the recordings happened. As a result, the 4-CD / Digital set includes some incomplete tracks, but most songs run near to completion."

I can understand if some songs may have not been taped and are missing but what does "most songs run near to completion" mean?

That is odd wording and seems to imply that most songs are not complete (it says most songs only run "near to completion").

Can that be true? I hope not.

Thanks.

It's awkwardly worded but I think it's meant to indicate that most of the incomplete songs run to near completion before the tape ran out.

Thanks for clarifying. That now makes sense. 

It definitely is very poorly worded.
