Art Pepper
Born:
Alto Saxophonist Art Pepper, a native of Gardena California, played in the overtly emotional manner that came to define the West Coast style. His solo approach was always passionate, from early recordings made with Stan Kenton's orchestra during his years with the band (1943 and 1946-52) and in jam sessions on LA’s Central Avenue.
Records and club work with Shorty Rogers and his Giants beginning in 1951 provided more room for his solo skills, and by 1952 he began cutting more intimate and open quartet and quintet sessions under his own name. By this time he had already developed a dependence on alcohol, pills, and heroin that led to an erratic lifestyle and (in 1952) the first of several arrests and incarcerations.

Henry Mancini: The Architect of Sound
by Nazareno Bicocchi
Henry Mancini was not merely Hollywood's most celebrated composer; he was the vital bridge between the Golden Age of Big Bands and cinematic modernism. His genius lay in his ability to be a “melodic tailor," capable of dressing every scene with an unprecedented sonic palette. Born to Abruzzese immigrants--his father, Quinto, played the flute in a ...
Art Pepper: Everything Happens to Me 1959 - Live at the Cellar
by Jack Kenny
The work of great artists is often discussed in terms of distinct periods--Picasso had his Blue Period, Rembrandt his Leiden Period. An album like this invites a similar framework for Art Pepper: the post-Stan Kenton era, the Renaissance Years, the Final Period. The performances captured here belong to a pivotal moment in Pepper's career. ...
