This is an essential vintage cut. Cool and bop-era favourites are rendered by alto saxophonist Art Pepper and an 11-piece band, power-punched by the arrangements of Marty Paich. Pianist-conductor Paich gives the ensemble ample space to shine, Trumpeter Jack Sheldon included, while Pepper remains the focus of the performance. Masterful renditions of "Move," "Four Brothers," "Shaw Nuff," "Anthropology," and "Donna Lee" stand out, each riff and solo a powerful reminder of the core beauty of jazz. There is no filler here, making this an essential for any jazz collection.
