Art Pepper's auspicious recording date with Miles Davis's rhythm section!
Album notes don't always tell the whole story. Contemporary president Lester Koenig, who rightly felt that Art Pepper had yet to record with musicians who were his equal, wanted to take advantage of Miles Davis's quintet being in L.A. But Pepper hadn't been playing for several months, and his horn was in a state of disrepair.
To minimize anxiety, the session was kept secret from Art until the last minute. But Pepper always rose to a challenge: he taped up his dried-out cork, arrived for the date, and proceeded to record an album widely considered the most important of his career.
This hybrid SACD contains a stereo CD layer that can be played on most standard CD players!
