Intensity
Art Pepper
In 1960, Art Pepper was beginning to incorporate into his playing some of the new freedom being pioneered in jazz by Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane. The result was even greater chance-taking and daring in the playing of an alto saxophonist already known for his individuality and passion. In this program of eight songs, Pepper, aided by a superb rhythm section, tests the boundaries of conventional harmony while observing the traditions of swing and melodic improvisation that he never abandoned. The album also offers some of the best work of the brilliant but little known pianist Dolo Coker.
with Dolo Coker, Jimmy Bond, Frank Butler
