I love it. I love the energy and the brilliance of Art Pepper's performances. On Meet the Rhythm section, he's all gentleman, here's he's getting ready for the big house. The edge is there and doesn't leave. You've been warned. For me, indispensable both as performance and recording.
Art Pepper left a legacy of innumerable appearances on records, but his sessions for Contemporary always seemed to find him in the best company and in the best shape. Here his impassioned alto sax is appropriately applied to the compositions of six saxophonists, among them Benny Carter, Ornette Coleman, and Pepper himself. The presence of Jack Sheldon in a rare performance as a small-group trumpeter was another important factor in the album's success.
