Art Pepper, Warne Marsh (photo, Mark Weber)
Maybe April, 2013 is a month you don't want to remember, but this tune is one I think you'll want to hear. On April 20, 1975 Art accepted an afternoon gig at an L.A. club called "The Foxy Lady." That hoot of appreciation at the end is my voice, so I must have been there. I can't remember it. Also in the band, my notes say, is Carol Kaye on electric bass. I don't know who the electric keyboardist is and I have no guess as to who the drummer is.
[ This just in!: The band includes Mike Lang on electric piano, John Morrell on guitar, Tommy Vig on drums, and though he's missing on this track, Buddy Collette on flute and clarinet. The concert was produced by Dan McKenna.]
The track starts out a bit noisy and confused but promptly at the 15-second mark it jumps right into the groove and never leaves it.
Pay nothing. Most of the music I post here is really truly free. Just enter zero in the amount box. But if you can, please donate -- and help Widow's Taste issue new recordings (and restock the old ones).
