Art Pepper • Winter Moon

 

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
Ever since Artie Shaw and Charlie Parker, most jazz musicians have had a desire to record at least once in their lives with strings, often considering it a prestigious honor. Altoist Art Pepper finally had his chance on this album and fortunately the string arrangements (by Bill Holman and Jimmy Bond) do not weigh down the proceedings. Pepper sounds quite inspired performing seven strong compositions highlighted by Hoagy Carmichael's "Winter Moon," "When the Sun Comes Out" and a clarinet feature on "Blues in the Night." This material (plus four alternate takes and two other songs from the same sessions) is included in the massive Art Pepper Galaxy box set.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Desde Artie Shaw y Charlie Parker, la mayoría de los músicos de jazz han deseado grabar al menos una vez en su vida con cuerdas, considerándolo a menudo un prestigioso honor. El contralto Art Pepper tuvo por fin su oportunidad en este álbum y, afortunadamente, los arreglos de cuerda (de Bill Holman y Jimmy Bond) no lastran el disco. Pepper suena bastante inspirado interpretando siete sólidas composiciones destacadas por "Winter Moon" de Hoagy Carmichael, "When the Sun Comes Out" y una participación del clarinete en "Blues in the Night". Este material (más cuatro tomas alternativas y otras dos canciones de las mismas sesiones) se incluye en la enorme caja Art Pepper Galaxy.
