Description
A previously unissued 1980 set by the alto sax giant Art Pepper, arrives as a limited edition 2LP set from Elemental Music. Deluxe gatefold package with extensive booklet, 180-gram vinyl mastered by Matthew Lutthans at the Mastering Lab. Co-produced by Zev Feldman and Elemental partner Jordi Soley, the hard-hitting 1980 quartet date features Pepper, then in the middle of a late-career renaissance, backed sympathetically by the brilliant Bulgarian pianist Milcho Leviev, bassist Tony Dumas, and drummer Carl Burnett. The hastily booked appearance came less than 24 hours after Pepper and his band concluded an engagement at Ronnie Scott's London club. Elemental's typically expansive notes for the limited-edition LP set will include recollections by the musician's wife Laurie Pepper, Tony Dumas, and Carl Burnett, detailed notes by jazz writer Marc Myers, appreciations by saxophonists John Zorn and Rudresh Mahanthappa, and an interview conducted with Pepper at Kongsberg.
