![]() It was the platinum SHM disk launched in October, 2013. I had been always wondering what on earth about this album could be called a masterpiece recording, but finally the CD version was launched, and I felt relieved. However, you can feel the sense of reality in jazz performance by listening to the band playing together as one. Speaking of 1956, the year recording was done, it is in the early period of stereo recording, and it may be true that the stereo effect was considered by deliberately separating the right and left. In other words, it sounds a bit unnatural for me and I also feel odd hearing the leader positioned to the left as if he is completely separated. Take a look at the opening tune, You'd Be So Nice …. The piano in intro played by Red Garland is placed right, Then, Pepper playing the theme placed left. Putting that aside, the positions of members' instruments are clearly separated to either the left or right channel in this recording. The piece was relaunched tens of times in LP and CD formats in the past, and it is not only a masterpiece but also the work enjoyed by fans as a recorded masterpiece. In addition, the recording was fantastic capturing Pepper's distinct personality vividly and clearly. When the regular combo of Miles Davis came to the West Coast, they hired a rhythm section, and recorded this masterpiece where Pepper's alto full of inspiration and the groove performed by the rhythm section were integrated. The recording was done at a contemporary studio in Los Angeles, and the engineer was a virtuoso, Roy DuNann. ![]() This is one of the masterpieces of the genius, Art Pepper, who was called the greatest white alto sax player.
