	Art Pepper The Art Of Pepper
		Pepper is generally the main star (particularly on such numbers as "You and the Night and the Music," "Over the Rainbow" and "All the Things You Are") while Paich (who has several fine piano solos) contributes three of the eight songs to this cool-toned, but hard-swinging, set.
		Art Pepper's third recording in his comeback years was recorded in a studio but has the emotional intensity and chance-taking improvisations of his live concerts of the period.
		Art Pepper was in the process of dying at the time this recording was made, but there's no lack of energy, no loss of vitality.

	CD Review of Art Pepper - Renascence on Galaxy @ jazzreview.com
		Art Pepper at 50 was emerging from a decade and a half of prison and rehab.
		Pepper shows there’s plenty of fun still to be had with the language of his youth.
		Pepper shows his real substance on the ballad, "Here’s that Rainy Day." His sound is hard, his intonation quirky, as if he has more important things to tend to, but he is pensive and searching, lyrical and biting — a man who has known rainy days.

	The Hollywood All-Star Sessions : Art Pepper : CD Reviews : One Final Note
		Pepper's ballad features are typically memorable, but they point out how careful he was in his choice of repertoire; he clearly chose songs to which there were lyrics, and these lyrics, as on "Imagination", are critical to his interpretations.
		Pepper sounds genuinely bewildered in his solo, intoxicated by an allure to which he knows he cannot afford to submit, and Pete Jolly responds to him in a solo that is articulated with the utmost gentleness.
		Pepper was, in fact, one of our greatest narcissists, because he could look the paradox of that condition straight in the eye.

		Pepper had made a name for himself in Stan Kenton's band, but this was really the first time he found himself in the studio with a rhythm section such as Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones.
		Famously, Koenig and Pepper's wife Diane kept the date a secret from Pepper until the morning of the session, fearing that he'd be too nervous to agree to working with such a formidable group of East Coast musicians.
		Art Pepper, saxophonist on the west coast, was basically belonged to the west coast school of players along with Shelly Manne, Victor Feldman, Stan Getz, Conte Candoli, Gerry Mulligan, and Chet Baker.

		Well, the concert was never to be, as Art Pepper, whose health was all too fragile passed away about a month or so before the scheduled event.
		Art Pepper was one of the handful of alto players that sought new passages and never imitated the structures that were built up by Charlie Parker.
		Pepper spent much of the sixties and early seventies either in prison, ill or in the San Francisco rehabilitation center Synanon.

	Mosaic Select: Art Pepper (MS-015)
		Like Bud Shank, Art Pepper was a West Coast alto saxophonist deeply under the spell of Charlie Parker when everyone around him was more influenced by the cool school of Lester Young and Miles Davis.
		Don't think Pepper was the band leader or the composer that Davis was but both are soulful players who are significant figures in late 20th century jazz.
		Pepper plays with great beauty and passion on these sides.The two blues improvisations accompanied only by bass,are prime examples of Pepper at his absolute best.The sideman are almost all uniformly excellent,especially Carl Perkins on piano.Pepper's combination of soul and creativity have never been better displayed than on these wonderful recordings.

	CD Review of Art Pepper - The Best of Art Pepper on Contemporary / Fantasy @ jazzreview.com
		Subsequent Art Pepper albums from the late 50s and early 60s on the whole maintain a high level of performance.
		Pepper's squawks and cries are far less satisfying than his earlier, seemingly effortless flow of musical, melodic creativity.
		One might argue that Pepper is able to find a balance between emotion and structure--between Dionysius and Apollo--for fleeting moments in his later career.

		The subject of every piece is Art Pepper, one of the great saxophone players of the 20th century, who rivaled even Charlie Parker as a master of the alto sax.
		Goia correlated the details of Pepper's autobiography with the details of his discography, and took the time to discuss the musicians and producers that Pepper was working with at different junctures of his career.
		Here was Art Pepper, hiding in his house day and night like an agoraphobe, strung so far out on heroin that he would do very little but fix and sleep, and wake to fix and sleep again.

	Art Pepper : Renascence - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Renascence is an appropriate title for this 1975 performance because in the mid-'70s, Art Pepper experienced a creative rebirth.
		Many of those who bought Living Legend and caught Pepper live in 1975 agreed that he was playing the hell out of his horn, although some listeners preferred the softer, cool-toned Pepper of the 1950s over the tougher, more aggressive, John Coltrane-influenced Pepper of Living Legend.
		Pepper's reading of "Here's That Rainy Day" demonstrates that he was as soulful as ever when it came to ballads, but the up-tempo performances are definitely a departure from the more subtle Pepper of the 1950s.

	Art Pepper (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Pepper started out on clarinet at the age of nine, switching to alto saxophone four years later.
		At the end of the 60s Pepper began a slow, uphill fight against his addiction, a struggle that was eventually successful and heralded his re-emergence in the mid-70s as a major figure on the international jazz scene.
		Pepper's life story was memorably recounted in his candid autobiography and a subsequent film, Art Pepper: Notes From A Jazz Survivor, which offered a potent and harshly unsentimental lesson for any young musician contemplating the use of addictive drugs.

	Jazzmatazz Review - Art Pepper - The Hollywood All-Star Sessions
		Pepper is a legend, deservedly, and so all nuggets from his career deserve attention.
		Start with his playing with Watrous' quintet, and the ordinary is matched by the exceptional, as on the finger-snapping "For Art's Sake" and the chaste poetic genius on "Angel Eyes." And as the session progressed (or maybe as my ears attuned), the music become more substantial, aided in no small part by Watrous' fine soloing.
		Pepper's stint with pianist Pete Jolly is a splendid set of high-tempo, flash and dash solos with a sharp, articulate rhythm section.

	Richie Cole & Art Pepper - A Piece Of Jazz History Review
		Richie Cole Meets Art Pepper, the only joint recording by the two great altoists, was originally a 1983 LP put out by the long-defunct Palo Alto label, and titled Return to Alto Acres.
		Sadly, Art Pepper only had three-and-a-half months left in his life when he recorded this with Richie Cole, but his energetic and enthusiastic playing, which matches the younger alto in power and depth, demonstrates that he went out on top.
		Richie Cole Meets Art Pepper was a decently recorded LP in 1983.

		Art: His writing for Miles on Miles Ahead to me was the most perfect thing I've ever heard done for a soloist with a band.
		Comprehending his own failings and shortcomings, and the pain from which they were born, he found a way to translate his experience into a beauty that was so rich, a palette whose colours and hues were the deepest blues and the reddest reds.
		Art moved his music to a new level in his late period, beyond method and technique to where everything was so natural for him, moving so smoothly between feeling, thought and technical basis that his music actually exists outside of it's time frame and apart from the style(s) of the day.

		Altoist Art Pepper's 1981 appearances at Los Angeles' now-obsolete Maiden Voyage club were fully documented, resulting in three LPs and a greatly expanded program that is included on Pepper's massive "complete" Galaxy box set.
		A 1981 session recorded live over three nights in August 1981 (less than a year before Art Pepper's early death), Arthur's Blues is straightforward hard bop in the classic style.
		One of the most individual of all altoists (and one of the few in the 1950s who did not sound like a cousin of Charlie Parker), the cool-toned Lee Konitz has always had a strong musical curiosity that has led him to consistently take chances and stretch himself, usually quite successfully.
