Incredible pressing of an out of this world album. Who’s this Art Pepper fella I see on Contemporary? (Know his name not his tunes)

[GraemeE]

@Mizmazzle said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):

Who’s this Art Pepper fella

Time to shake the pepper.....

If you get a chance to read " straight Life" its a good book...autobio from Art Pepper.
Pepper is great

@Mizmazzle dude lived a gnarly life. Mean alto player - west coast jazz legend.

[GraemeE]

@J-IV didn't he accidentally join a cult in attempt to get sober at one point in the 60s?

[Mizmazzle]

@J-IV this is a good point. Next step will be to start getting into the biographies of some of these players!

Cults??? Now that sounds like an interesting story to dig into!

[J-IV]

@GraemeE Yeah - it was on accident if I remember correctly. He thought he was getting clean and then come to find out he was in this cult group.

I’ll see if I have time to spin something this week and I’ll for sure add him on the queue @Mizmazzle
Been a minute since I heard him play

[GraemeE]

I have been blessed to spend my life in a city with a decent jazz radio station with passionate ( if not obsessive) djs who like to include little snipits of info with their selections.

That's been my avenue of discovery for the most part

Dude that’s what I’m talking about. I’m a local member of my jazz station.

They used to play Marian Mcpartland piano jazz where she interviewed jazz folks. I stumbled on the Bill Evan’s one and I was hooked ever since.
