Tête-à-Tête

CD-Charts > Music > Cool and West Coast
by: Art Pepper, George Cables

Release Date June 20, 1995
Here we have Art playing in 1982, just after a tour of Japan, with his favourite pianist (he called him 'Mr Beautiful Fingers'!)

Pepper is in great form. The opener ('Over The Rainbow')had become one of his theme tunes, and is here wonderfully reprised.

Cables is a fine player, proved nowhere more than on 'The Way You Look Tonight' with extended improvisation. He and Pepper evidently understood one another well. I think 'empathy' is the correct term here.

Another highlight is the duet's exploration of Monk's 'Round Midnight'. The emotion that was part of Pepper's tumultuous life is well in evidence.

Sparkling digital recording produced by Art's widow, Laurie, this is a beautiful offering.

Gitanes Jazz 'round Midnight

CD-Charts > Music > Cool and West Coast
by: Chet Baker

Release Date October 01, 1999
A 14 track mainly vocal compilation from sessions in New York and Paris covering the period 1955 to 1965. Nothing new to investigate but a nice collection to interest newcomers. The original issue (1990) has liner notes in French and English and rather un-inspired artwork. The same CD (with same cat. number) was issued again in France in 1998. Liner notes in French only but with different and more attractive art work.

Getz Plays Jobim: The Girl From Ipanema

CD-Charts > Music > Cool and West Coast
by: Stan Getz

Release Date March 25, 2002
I have always been a bossa lover, and have searched for the ultimate "relax" album, not to heavy, not to fast, not too much vocal etc. Well this is it, the combination of Jobim, Gilberto and Getz is just wonderful....No fantastic, if you only buy one bossa album this is it. Lovely sound reproduction given the age of the tracks, clear and fresh. Getz' sax is just liquid smooth cool jazz. You have to buy it.
