Originally released on Contemporary (7573).
Personnel: Art Pepper (alto saxophone), Conte Candoli (trumpet), Wynton Kelly (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), Jimmy Cobb (drums).
Recorded at Contemporary Records Studio, Los Angeles, California on February 29, 1960. Originally released on Contemporary (7573). Includes original release liner notes by Martin Williams.
As a sort of follow-up to Art Pepper's matchup with Miles Davis' trio in the 1957 classic Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section, Pepper utilizes Davis' sidemen on this 1960 near-classic. In addition to pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Jimmy Cobb, trumpeter Conte Candoli makes the group a quintet on four of the eight numbers. This time around, rather than emphasizing standards, Pepper performs just three ("Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise," Thelonious Monk's "Rhythm-A-Ning," and "The Way You Look Tonight") and includes three originals of his own: "Diane," "Bijou the Poodle," and "Gettin' Together." The music is all very straight-ahead and bop-oriented, but as usual, Pepper brings something very personal and unique to his playing; he sounds like no one else. [Some reissues add "The Way You Look Tonight" (formerly only available on another LP) and an alternate take of the title cut to the original repertoire.] ~ Scott Yanow
