MARCH FREEBIE: in the studio with DONNA LEE

Go back through time and space and enter the studio at Kendun Recorders in Los Angeles in May of 1979. Introducing a new kind of Freebie: SECRET OUTTAKES. I've acquired some uncut, unissued tracks of music recorded for the Artists House album, and this incomplete track was recorded in L.A. by producer John Snyder (he's the white guy in the photo holding the camera). The band could not be more wonderful: George Cables, piano, Charlie Haden, bass, Billy Higgins, Drums, and of course Art Pepper.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE the talk at the end of the track, because it takes me back to that exciting time, when Art Pepper was well into his big comeback and playing so well with such wonderful artists! Join me and them in the studio for eight delightful minutes!



I love my work, because it's Art And if you're a fan, you'll play YOUR part The song is free But the work takes time The music's sublime But the effort is mine... to research and fix it and present it & mix it. The next release is bound to please, but the choosing the writing, compiling, and layout the shipping. receiving, the clearing and payout for mastering, printing, manufacturing and so on are all up to me, and I promise to go on posting, releasing, and loving to do it. as you, the fans, support me all through it. Thanks. If you're a member of the Kitchen Cabinet, don't donate unless you're feeling wealthy. If you're not and you're feeling broke, of course, don't bother! If you've donated a bunch in the past, ditto. But if you've been downloading these tracks for free for a while, feel GUILTY. And donate. I promise, you'll feel so much better if you do.
