By the time of this, Art Pepper's tenth recording as a leader, he was
making his individual voice on the alto saxophone leave the cozy
confines of his heroes Charlie Parker and Lee Konitz. Joining the Miles
Davis rhythm section of pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers, and
drummer Philly Joe Jones made the transformation all that more
illuminating. It's a classic east meets west, cool plus hot but never
lukewarm combination that provides many bright moments for the quartet
during this exceptional date from that great year in music, 1957. A bit
of a flip, loosened but precise interpretation of the melody on "You'd
Be So Nice to Come Home To" gets the ball rolling, followed by a "Bags
Groove" parallel with "Red Pepper Blues," and a delicate, atypical
treatment of "Imagination." A compositional collaboration of Pepper and
Chambers on the quick "Waltz Me Blues" and hard-edged,
running-as-fast-as-he-can take of "Straight Life" really sets the gears
whirring. Philly Joe Jones is a great bop drummer, no doubt, one of the
all-time greats with Kenny Clarke and Max Roach. His crisp
Latin-to-swing pace for "Tin Tin Deo" deserves notice, masterful in its
creation and seamlessness. Pepper makes a typical "Star Eyes" brighter,
and he goes into a lower octave tone, more like a tenor, for "Birks
Works" and the bonus track "The Man I Love." It's clear he has heard his
share of Stan Getz in this era. Though Art Pepper played with many a
potent trio, this one inspires him to the maximum, and certainly makes
for one of his most substantive recordings after his initial
incarcerations, and before his second major slip into the deep abyss of
drug addiction. Michael G. Nastos
