FOR ONE WEEK ONLY; THEN IT'LL BE GONE!
Art Pepper was born on September 1, 1925. In honor of his 90th birthday, I'm giving away TWO never-before-published tracks from a fabulous concert:
In 1981 Art made his last tour of Japan with George Cables, David Williams, and Carl Burnett. Every gig was great. These TWO TRACKS, YES TWO! were recorded in Minano. Someday I'll have it all remastered and release the whole concert. But meanwhile, here you are, just in time for ART'S 90TH. Everything Happens to Me_AND_Straight Life!

Thank you very much, Laurie, for sharing these wonderful tunes. Happy birthday, Art!!
ReplyDelete"Straight Life" recorded and assembled by his loving wife, Laurie is one of the best reads I have ever come across. Art's talent is truly transcendant. Clarity above all and magical melodies that simply frame so many emotions, visuals and experiences one has had. I loved his playing at first hearing and I love it more with each listening. Buy this book and buy the Cd of the same name! You will hear the finest musicians of the time on the cd and enjoy the adventure of Art's roller coaster life in the book.
