Art Pepper fans out there?

Just received the new box set called Promise Kept: The Complete Artists House Recordings. Late in life comeback records, all remastered. They sound amazing. Lengthy info & pic booklet as well. Anyhoots just thought I'd share. Been spinning nonstop.

Love the 1978? version of "Patricia" on Art Pepper Today with Cecil McBee, whose work during that period is amazing.

Great player. Unique in that he combined a West Coast style softer-edged tone with the swing feel of East Coast beboppers. Many great recordings including the ones mentioned. For something different try the recordings with the Stan Kenton Orchestra from the early 40’s to early 50’s with which he was the featured alto player.  He was 18 years old the first time he recorded with Kenton.
