Laurie Pepper, August, 1991
Japan and live Japanese audiences were intrinsic to Art's last and best success. It was the response of a Japanese audience at Yubin Chokin Hall in Tokyo (the venue of these concerts) in 1977 that convinced Art to undertake his final comeback. He'd somewhat hesitantly accompanied Cal Tjader's band to Japan for a brief tour. He'd feared that his criminal drug record would turn the authorities against him; he dreaded that they'd stop him at the airport and send him home. When they didn't and when his music - his mere onstage presence - was received with overwhelming jubilation and affection by masses or knowledgeable fans, Art realized that he did, in fact, have an audience and that it was time to go back to work, playing jazz. He began to tour and record. He returned to Japan in 1978, and in 1979 returned again with a top-flight band and with the understanding that two concerts would be recorded by JVC in Tokyo, one on July 16th, 1979, the other on July 23rd. Such concerts could not fail. On Art's part there was the conviction that colored all his later work - that each performance was a matter of life and death. In addition, he was addressing an audience who could be relied upon to hear, understand, and encourage him. The band included his favorite pianist, George Cables, Geo/ 's favorite bassist at that time, Tony Durty and Billy Higgins, everybody's favorite drummer. Nothing was recorded that was less than wonderful. One album was released in 1979, 'Landscape,' and in 1 980, a second was released in Japan only, 'Besame Mucho.' In 1989, Galaxy Records acquired the total concert material for their 16 CD box, 'Art Pepper: The Complete Galaxy Recordings.' Galaxy producer, Ed Michel, engineer Danny Kopelson, and I worked together to remix everything, since the mix of the first two albums left something to be desired, and then the material in this album was, for the first time (and in that large format only), made available to the public, material which critic Gary Giddins wrote represents 'great' Art Pepper. He called these concerts the portrait of an artist 'with his soul on fire.' In this set we get to hear six tunes that were peculiarly Art's own. He recorded 'Besame Mucho' for the first time in 1956. It was a masterful and highly praised performance, but during the twenty years or so that followed, Art never played or thought of it again. Until he began to tour Japan in 1977. That old recording had obviously touched Art's Japanese fans. They vehemently requested it, he played it, and he found it so congenial (he was one of the world's greatest ballad players with a natural affinity for latin rhythms) that he began to play this latin ballad regularly from '77 on. 'True Blues' is a boppish uptempo blues Art wrote especially for this date. It was his own tune written for his own voice. His idiosyncratic 'Landscape' was also written for the ccasion. Gary Giddins has called 'Landscape' a 'gnostic original,' one of Art's greatest charts. And everyone who knows Art's music knows that 'Over the Rainbow' was truly his as well. Every time he performed it he rewrote it and made it his own. It was one of the songs that earned him early stardom, and he played it all his life. He used it, as he used all ballads, to express his deepest feelings. 'Rainbow' just cut a little closer to the bone. This is a stunning version of it here. 'Straight Life,' fast and feverish, is another Pepper original, a tune he played to quicken his pulse, test his chops (and his sidemen), and dazzle the crowd. The last song of the set is 'Avalon,' a tune for which Art felt a great affection. Unlike all the others, 'Avalon' was not a trial, a test, or a testimony. It was a song to play with, to stretch out and swing with, to relax with and remember what it was to be a kid on Central Avenue - in love with jazz.
This is first class and previously unavailable Art Pepper. He's playing great charts at an inspiring venue with an ideal band. It's been scrupulously mixed and is presented here with love.
