"Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section" (07/01/1991) Jazz Instrument Pepper, Art, Original Jazz ClassicsPersonnel: Art Pepper (alto saxophone); Red Garland (piano); Paul Chambers (acoustic bass); Philly Joe Jones (drums). Recorded at Contemporary's Studio, Los Angeles, California on January 19, 1957. Originally released on Contemporary (7532). Includes liner notes by Lester Koenig. Personnel: Art Pepper (alto saxophone); Red Garland (piano); Paul Chambers (bass instrument); Philly Joe Jones (drums). Recording information: Contemporary Studios, Los Angeles, California (01/19/1957). In the 1950s, Miles Davis assembled one of the premier rhythm sections in jazz. His pre-Bill Evans group, consisting of pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe Jones (heard on such albums as ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT and MILESTONES) was hard to beat. The way they performed together was remarkable, at once musically conversational and nearly telepathic in their collective thinking. On this unusual '57 outing, "West Coast cool" alto saxophonist Art Pepper teams up with these great rhythm players. The result is a seamless match of styles and approaches that showcases the skills of all four master musicians. Highlights include the burning-fast Pepper original "Straight Life" and the endearing "Red Pepper Blues," a tune composed by Red Garland just five hours prior to the recording session.

"Stan Getz With Cal Tjader" (06/29/1990) Jazz Instrument Getz, Stan, Original Jazz ClassicsPersonnel: Stan Getz (tenor saxophone); Cal Tjader (vibraphone); Vince Guaraldi (piano); Eddie Duran (guitar); Scott LaFaro (bass); Billy Higgins (drums). Recorded at Circle Record Studios, San Francisco, California on February 8, 1958. Originally released on Fantasy (3266). Includes liner notes by Ralph J. Gleason. STAN GETZ WITH CAL TJADER is a classic, not only because it pairs the renowned tenor player (Getz) with the great vibraphonist (Tjader), but because the additional personnel on the session make it something of an all-star date. Drummer Billy Higgins, still some time away from his work on the groundbreaking experiments of Ornette Coleman, appears here on one of his first sessions. Bassist Scott LaFaro, who would achieve fame as a member of Bill Evans's legendary trio, also makes an early appearance. Pianist Vince Guaraldi, a leader and composer in his own right (his "Ginza Samba" is one of the highlights on the set), sits in, as does fleet-fingered guitarist Eddie Duran. The ensemble--which has a lively, robust sound due to the instrumentation--moves effortlessly between highly lyrical ballads and fierce, up-tempo bop. The set includes several Tjader tunes, including the smart and swinging "Crow's Nest" and "Big Bear," while the group's treatment of the standard "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face" displays remarkable sensitivity and sweetness. Though Tjader and Getz are naturally in the forefront throughout--they both balance shimmering, cool tones with dazzling dexterity--there is fine soloing from all involved, making this a consistently superb set.

"Kelly Blue (OJC) [Remaster]" (04/04/1989) Jazz Instrument Kelly, Wynton, Original Jazz ClassicsPersonnel: Wynton Kelly (piano); Bobby Jaspar (flute); Benny Golson (tenor saxophone); Nat Adderley (cornet); Paul Chambers (bass); Jimmy Cobb (drums). Recorded in New York, New York on February 19, 1959. Originally released on Riverside (1142). Wynton Kelly Trio & Sextet: Bobby Jaspar (flute); Benny Golson (tenor saxophone); Nat Adderley (cornet); Wynton Kelly (piano); Paul Chambers (bass instrument); Jimmy Cobb (drums). Liner Note Author: Orrin Keepnews. Recording information: 1959. Jazz is ultimately based on the blues, or "blue notes." Consequently, KELLY BLUE couldn't be a more fitting play on words to describe pianist Wynton Kelly, an extremely bluesy jazz musician. His originals "Old Clothes" and "Kelly Blue" are both straight-up blues tunes. These tracks are carefree and bouncy, and Kelly plays exciting, colorful solos on both. Like any good jazz pianist, Kelly uses accents to create the needed syncopation in the music. But his punchy, almost percussive approach gives his solos even more dimension, power, and forward momentum. "Green Dolphin Street" is another excellent track, where Kelly swings effortlessly, due in part to the fabulous rhythm section of Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb. Kelly's solo here has a superb ebb and flow. His snaky runs up and down the keyboard make this one of the album's true highlights. The horn players all keep pace with Kelly too. Tenor saxophonist Benny Golson is especially adroit, and plays some terrific solos on the title track and "Keep it Moving."
