A sharp performance from an innovator of modern jazz
Art Pepper's alto saxophone expands the possibilities of West Coast jazz.
His cool yet passionate playing style highlights his individuality. This recording was made during his recovery from his battle with drugs, and his thirst for life is embodied in the sound. This is an important album that will remain in the history of modern jazz.
