About This Item
Titles featuring Art Pepper, Sonny Rollins, Helen Humes, Ben Webster and many more! Mastered AAA by Bernie Grundman from the original analog tapes. 180-gram LPs pressed at Quality Record Pressings! - Saxophonist Art Pepper was considered one of the best altos of his time, just behind Charlie Parker. This 1960 recording, whose album's title presages the addiction that would soon offline the self-taught musician's career, features compositions written by fellow saxophonists (including Ornette Coleman's InchTears InsideInch and Buddy Collette's InchA Bit of BasieInch). Finding Pepper at his finest, most limber form, his own composition InchLas Cuevas de MarioInch is a particular standout in 5/4 time and would pop up on his set lists in subsequent years. - This new edition is released as part of the Contemporary Records Acoustic Sounds series on 180-gram vinyl pressed at QRP with (AAA) lacquers cut from the original tapes by Bernie Grundman and is presented in a Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket. Album Tracks 1. Smack Up 2. Las Cuevas de Mario 3. A Bit of Basie 4. How Can You Lose 5. Maybe Next Year 6. Tears Inside
