Art Pepper • The Art Pepper Quartet

 



Review by Scott Yanow
Released on the small Tampa label, this album features the great altoist Art Pepper with pianist Russ Freeman, bassist Ben Tucker, and drummer Gary Frommer. The quality of the music here is high, if brief -- even with his erratic lifestyle, Pepper never made a bad record. Highlights include the Pepper original "Diane," "Besame Mucho," and "Pepper Pot." Fine music, but not essential when one considers how many gems Art Pepper recorded during his rather hectic life.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Publicado en el pequeño sello Tampa, este álbum presenta al gran contralto Art Pepper con el pianista Russ Freeman, el bajista Ben Tucker y el baterista Gary Frommer. La calidad de la música aquí es alta, aunque breve - incluso con su estilo de vida errático, Pepper nunca hizo un mal disco. Lo más destacado es el original de Pepper "Diane", "Besame Mucho" y "Pepper Pot". Buena música, pero no esencial si se tiene en cuenta la cantidad de joyas que Art Pepper grabó durante su agitada vida.
