A live album that explodes with Art Pepper's overwhelming performance technique and emotion.
This virtuoso alto saxophonist's improvisations in front of an audience capture the essence of hard bop. Pepper's tone is sometimes wistful, sometimes intense, and the music reflects his turbulent life. The close interplay with the backing musicians is also a highlight, making this a must-listen recording for any jazz fan.
