из коллекции нашего золотого runo! :punk:
ему и всем друзьям - спасибо! :)
Of the new releases issued under Art Pepper's name in 1980, So In Love was overall the finest. The altoist stretches out here on a program of standards and blues, backed by alternating rhythm sections from the East and West coasts.
Pianist Hank Jones is all one could ask for in an accompanist, and his aching solo on "Diane" sustains perfectly the restive mood of Pepper's opening choruses. Overall, the West Coast team pianist of George Cables, whose great rapport with Pepper is unmatched, along with jazz legends Charlie Haden and Billy Higgins powers the music along with great care and economy. Pepper had climbed to such a plateau of individuality that he seems often here to be drawing his unconscious influences into the light and remembering what it was he loved about them in the first place.
On a leisurely "Stardust", he daffodils his sentiments with the grace and cunning of a Lester Young. The title track, a Cole Porter waltz that agitates into a collective improvisation by its climax, offers the best illustration of the wondrous use Pepper makes of John Coltrane. It isn't in this case a matter of piling up chords or of playing more notes, as it is with so many others, but rather of drawing on extreme registers of the horn to express more conflicting emotions, to reach deeper and higher recesses of the viscera and the psyche. Remixed by Rik Pekkonen and John Koenig; remastering by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman. Original Artist House 9412.

This album together with the other two of the series (NY album and The intimate) is a fantastic addiction to any jazz collection. Art was in his late years but at the top of his shape. He played here with urgency and emotional intensity. Here the material is the result of a couple of sessions. The first was recorded in NY with Hank Jones, Ron Carter and Al Foster and produced two tunes, Diane and Monk's blues Straight no chaser. The second session was recorded 3 months later in California with George Cables, Charlie Haden and Billy Higgins and produced three tunes more, Blues for Blanche, So in love, and Stardust. I can say that the California combo probably has more drive, is more aggressive. The Hank Jones combo was more light, educated. Anyway the quality of the music is always very high and Art played magnificiently. If you buy the three albums together you will have a great deal. These three records from Analog Productions has been recorded extremely well with a state of the art Wilson custom audio system. They are without a doubt reference recordings that you, hiend enthusiast like myself, would appreciate a lot, believe me.
