Thanks to Laurie Pepper for a great Christmas present! Not surprisingly, the highlight is Art's ballad feature, (Somewhere) Over The Rainbow, but everybody plays well throughout. Zoot really shines on the surprisingly uptempo Girl From Ipanema. He should have been recorded live more often. He always brought a little extra when spurred on by another top saxophonist, and who better to spur him on than Art Pepper? Great recording quality too. waylonfeedback
Two jazz legends join forces on this terrifically tense LP, with songs that twitch and scrape in defiantly free fashion. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 25, 2022
