{"product_id":"pepper-art-return-of-art-pepper-cd-505608320019","title":"Art Pepper - The Return of Art Pepper [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eCD reissue. Alto saxophonist Art Pepper's first incarceration for drugs took place between August 1954 and July 1956, a period conspicuous for Pepper's absence from the recording studio. Pepper's first recording as a leader after his release was, aptly, The Return of Art Pepper. He had been busy as a sideman for trumpeters Shorty Rogers (Big Shorty Express (RCA, 1956)) and Chet Baker (The Route (Pacific Jazz, 1956)) before entering Capitol Studios on August 5, 1956 to record the ten pieces that would become the final recording. Blue Note Records later collected the sides Pepper recorded for Jazz West (a subsidiary of Aladdin Records), releasing The Return of Art Pepper-The Complete Art Pepper Aladdin Recordings, Volume 1 with additional masters from the sessions. Pepper sounds surprisingly good for having been away from recording nearly two years. At this point, he retained the cool and dry tone which would later give way to the torrential playing of his final comeback. The music is vintage West Coast cool, slickly arranged and performed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePepper Returns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Go to My Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAngel Wings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunny Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive More\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinority\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatricia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMambo de la Pinta 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalkin' Out Blues 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePepper Steak 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou're Driving Me Crazy 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTenor Blooz 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYardbird Suite 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"206","offers":[{"title":"New \/ Default","offer_id":51045377048872,"sku":"505608320019","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"New \/ Alternate","offer_id":51075275063592,"sku":"505608320019-ALT","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/3792708.jpg?v=1763986897","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/pepper-art-return-of-art-pepper-cd-505608320019","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
