Art Pepper - Smack Up - 180g Vinyl LP
Contemporary Records Acoustic Sounds Series
2024
Mastered AAA by Bernie Grundman from the original analog tapes.
180-gram LPs pressed at Quality Record Pressings
Saxophonist Art Pepper was considered one of the best alto sax players ever. This 1960 recording, whose album's title presages the addiction that would soon offline the self-taught musician's career, features compositions written by fellow saxophonists (including Ornette Coleman's "Tears Inside" and Buddy Collette's "A Bit of Basie"). Finding Pepper at his finest, most limber form, his own composition "Las Cuevas de Mario" is a particular standout in 5/4 time and would pop up on his set lists in subsequent years.
This new edition is released as part of the Contemporary Records Acoustic Sounds series on 180-gram vinyl pressed at QRP with (AAA) lacquers cut from the original tapes by Bernie Grundman and is presented in a Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket.
