Art Lives Review

by Scott Yanow

The music on this LP is from altoist Art Pepper's well-documented engagement at the Maiden Voyage club in Los Angeles in 1981. Pepper, pianist George Cables, bassist David Williams, and drummer Carl Burnett are heard at their best on "Allen's Alley" and "Samba Mom Mom." A special highlight is a passionate duet by Pepper and Cables on "But Beautiful."
