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.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ART PEPPER 9/01/2018

Art's birthday is tomorrow, September 1, but I'm getting an early start. So...
Free for a WEEK-AND-A-DAY. Then, gone

ALTERNATE TAKE




Maybe it's because I've got an awful summer cold and it's driving me INSANE, but I've decided to post this devastatingly beautiful thing. I won't, can't tell you anything  about it except to say that once upon a time there was going to be an "alternate ballads" album. In other words, this tune wasn't considered to be as good as another version of Our Song which has been released.

    One of the greatest ballads of all time. As Art said, or something like this, from 'notes from a jazz survivor'...if you don't like this, I can't say any more, this is it...' winter moon is a record you can keep going back to.
