Bill Perkins-Richie Kamuca-Art Pepper • Just Friends

 

A mixture of sessions with Art on selected tracks, though in 1956 one was lucky to find him playing between incarcerations, and fellow West Coast tenor Richie Kamuca on others. Kamuca died young of cancer, and the rather shy Bill Perkins is better known for his appearances in the Lighthouse All Stars, of Hermosa Beach Lighthouse cafe fame. During the 1960s Perkins had a dual career as a studio musician and a recording engineer, which may explain the audio quality.

Una mezcla de sesiones con Art en algunas pistas seleccionadas, aunque en 1956 se tuvo la suerte de encontrarlo tocando entre encarcelamientos, y con su compañero tenor de la costa oeste Richie Kamuca en otras. Kamuca murió joven de cáncer, y el bastante tímido Bill Perkins es más conocido por sus apariciones en los Lighthouse All Stars, famosos por el café Hermosa Beach Lighthouse. Durante la década de 1960, Perkins tuvo una doble carrera como músico de estudio e ingeniero de grabación, lo que puede explicar la calidad del audio.
