Art Pepper is my favorite alto saxophonist and one of my favorite musicians, period. I wrote this while listening to Stuttgart May 25, 1981 – Unreleased Art Vol. V

I first listened to Art Pepper on vinyl when researching Stan Kenton in the late 80′s. I was struck by his tone first and then by the obvious love that he had for his instrument. I went on to buy “The Way it Was” album and I’m still listening to it now. This record is as deep as you want it to be … still very cool, still very tonal … a lovely listen :-)
