Art Pepper • Art Pepper + Eleven

 

Review by Scott Yanow
This is a true classic. Altoist Art Pepper is joined by an 11-piece band playing Marty Paich arrangements of a dozen jazz standards from the bop and cool jazz era. Trumpeter Jack Sheldon has a few solos, but the focus is very much on the altoist who is in peak form for this period. Throughout, Pepper sounds quite inspired by Paich's charts which feature the band as an active part of the music rather than just in the background. Highlights of this highly enjoyable set include "Move," "Four Brothers," "Shaw Nuff," "Anthropology," and "Donna Lee," but there is not a single throwaway track to be heard. Essential music for all serious jazz collections. [Some reissues add two additional versions of "Walking'" and one of "Donna Lee" to the original program.]

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Este es un verdadero clásico. Al altoista Art Pepper se une una banda de 11 integrantes que toca arreglos de Marty Paich de una docena de estándares de jazz de la era bop y cool jazz. El trompetista Jack Sheldon tiene algunos solos, pero la atención se centra en gran medida en el altoista que está en plena forma durante este período. En todo momento, Pepper suena bastante inspirado en las listas de éxitos de Paich, que presentan a la banda como una parte activa de la música en lugar de solo de fondo. Los aspectos más destacados de este set muy agradable incluyen "Move", "Four Brothers", "Shaw Nuff"," Anthropology " y "Donna Lee", pero no hay una sola pista desechable para escuchar. Música esencial para todas las colecciones serias de jazz. [Algunas reediciones agregan dos versiones adicionales de "Walking'" y una de "Donna Lee" al programa original.]
