Peppe ’s music is extraordinary. You can almost touch the magic sound that comes out of his instrument, that vivid and palpable mark it leaves. I was introduced by a friend into jazz giants but in the process and in my complete ignorance (that poor knowledge still continues to be) have discovered Peppe by myself. I remember that I said to myself: Omg, who this guy is? Later found out that I run into one of ’the world’s great altoist’ as Scott Yanow, American historian and jazz reviewer once said for Peppe.
I very much like this one
Art Pepper ’The Prisoner’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5utT5yiQAOo
made by Karen Lawrence’s song ’Prisoner’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPFOIBwKf5Q
mistakenly thought to be the song written by Barbra Streisand
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjMR-A5AaH8
- came to be a huge hit after the song was used as the soundtrack for the movie ’Eyes of Laura Mars’
Lyrics
"I’ve never been wrong
But you’re the the only one I trust to show me the way
I always hear your voice
And in my dreams I hear you calling my name
What is it about you?
Some kind of light shines from your face
And I can’t turn away.
I’m like a prisoner
Captured by your eyes,
I’ve been taken
And I’ve been hypnotized..."

As for the Dusko in related to Miles, Frogman said it all. And so did you in one of your latest postings.
In my opinion, I am quite sure that, the more the artists ’work’ on themselves and their art, the more they are able to shape their own and recognizable sound in the process. I think it’s inevitable. Will they try to suppress their signature or let it out on the open, I guess that’s the matter of their choice & courage & arrogance.
Personally, I prefer lousy original over excellent copy (replication).
