Every month

Every month I'll post a new "taste" of Art Pepper's music as a FREE DOWNLOAD. These tastes are given away because they are "unreleasable" by virtue of the recording being cut off at beginning or end or by brief audio problems that occurred in the recording process.

THEY'RE TOO STUNNING TO HIDE AWAY IN MY FILES AS YOU'LL SOON SEE.

I'll also post occasional journal entries including updates on new releases.

MUSIC: FREEBIE FOR ART PEPPER'S BIRTHDAY

Freebie for Art Pepper's Birthday. Download in ANY format. Happy Day! This record company hasn't paid me any royalties since Joe Fields sold it. I'll be giving this BEAUTIFUL music away from time to time. But you can pay a few pennies if you wanna. L.

  1. Thank you very much for making these recordings available. I think I can speak for most jazz enthusiasts when I say I'd like to know a bit about the dates and circumstances of these recordings. When and where were they recorded, who accompanied Art, etc.

  2. Well, Rudolf, in most cases I try to be very careful to list all the dates, personnel, and circumstances (look at other posts), but giving details for this particular post could get me into trouble with the original record company. The company doesn't pay me any royalties and has even failed to pay publishing royalties. This is my little way of 1. Getting back at them, 2. Getting the beautiful music out.

    Please consider this and upcoming posts like this" Mystery Tracks." A perusal of any good Art Pepper discography should reward you with the info you want. I recommend http://www.jazzdisco.org/art-pepper/discography/
