Tracks list

One of the greatest West Coast jazz LPs of all time! Art Pepper plays beautiful
spiralling alto lines with a tight quartet that includes Russ Freeman on piano,
Chuck Flores on drums, and Ben Tucker on bass. The whole thing swings in a way
thats tough to find on some of Peppers other albums from the time, and the track
list includes Diannes Dilemma, Blues In, Blues Out, and Cool Bunny.
This album, recorded in 1956 and 1957, is the second part of a three-volume set
released by Aladdin Records, comprising the saxophonists full body of recorded
material for this label. Combining bebop with West Coast cool, Modern Art
documents memorable performances of standards, including the luscious ballad
Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered, and the steamy Summertime. Peppers version
of this latter track is replete with a thick, almost haunting, reverb effect.
Other standouts are the stripped-down versions of Blues In and Blue Out, two
tunes that feature Peppers lamenting sax as it soliloquizes over a simple
walking bass line. Art Pepper was one of the worlds greatest alto saxophonists.
Though firmly rooted in the jazz tradition, Pepper possessed a strongly unique
sensibility, and his career ups and downs (largely due to drug addiction) never
seemed to affect his ability to play with precision, clarity, and insight.
