Art Pepper - Smack Up (APE+CUE)
Please keep seeding as long as you can.. The title of this recording, Smack Up (which has been reissued on CD with two takes of the otherwise-unknown "Solid Citizens" added), is ironic and inadvertently truthful. Within a short period, Art Pepper would begin spending many years in jail due to his heroin addiction; this was his next-to-last album from that period. Despite the bleak future, the great altoist (who never seemed to make an uninspired record during his unstable life) is in excellent form in a quintet with trumpeter Jack Sheldon, pianist Pete Jolly, bassist Jimmy Bond, and drummer Frank Butler. Highlights of this fine album include Harold Land's title cut, the five/four blues "Las Cuevas de Mario," and Ornette Coleman's "Tears Inside." [The 1989 CD reissue adds two takes of "Solid Citizens" as bonus tracks.] Personnel: Jack Sheldon (tp) Art Pepper (as) Pete Jolly (p) Jimmy Bond (b) Frank Butler (d) Track Listing: 01 Smack Up 02 Las Cuevas De Mario 03 A Bit of Basie 04 How Can You Lose 05 Maybe Next Year 06 Tears Inside 07 Solid Citizens (Take 33) 08 Solid Citizens (Take 37) Sharing Widget |
