Every month

Every month I'll post a new "taste" of Art Pepper's music as a FREE DOWNLOAD. These tastes are given away because they are "unreleasable" by virtue of the recording being cut off at beginning or end or by brief audio problems that occurred in the recording process.

THEY'RE TOO STUNNING TO HIDE AWAY IN MY FILES AS YOU'LL SOON SEE.

I'll also post occasional journal entries including updates on new releases.

AUGUST FREEBIE & MUCH MUCH MORE

Happy birthday to ME. And next month it's Art's. I apologize for skipping July but I've been overwhelmed by the the work of creating an epub version of WISWAJJ (see sidebar and buy it if you haven't --- check out http://lauriepepper.net for reviews etc.).


Like it says, Art with Duke Jordan, David Williams, Carl Burnett

Click HERE to go the the album & click on Over the Rainbow to download RAINBOW for FREE.

The WHOLE album, more than 2 hours of magnificent music, was originally licensed to Fantasy Records (by me). It has been bootlegged everywhere.  For good reason.  I've been listening all morning. It's wonderful! AND...

I'm offering it NOW, more than 2 hours of magnificent music (plus downloadable liner notes), for only ten bucks (the price may go up) & if you buy it from ME you'll support the release of more Art Pepper.


Let me just say the 22 minute CARAVAN is phenomenal on this one.  One of the best Art ever played.  Well, really, it's all great: Besame at 16 minutes is divine, Cherokee is burning hot, Radio Blues is as funky as it gets (you know me by now. That's what I LIKE), and of course Duke and Art are ol' time beboppers so there are Rhythm-A-Ning, Good Bait (on clarinet!), etc., thrilling as well.) Guaranteed.

  1. Indeed Laurie, I am so glad to see this get a proper release. Time to toss the bootleg and get the real thing. Wonderful recording.
