Additional information
Personnel: Art Pepper (alto saxophone), Jack Montrose (tenor saxophone), Russ Freeman, Hampton Hawes, Claude Williamson (piano), Bob Whitlock, Joe Mondragon, Monte Budwig (bass), Bobby White, Larry Bunker (drums). Originally released on Savoy (MG 12089). Includes original release liner notes by Alan Stein. Personnel includes: Art Pepper; Jack Montrose (tenor saxophone). This issue of SURF RIDE contains four alternate take bonus tracks. The music on this Savoy LP is quite brilliant, but the packaging leaves something to be desired. The recording dates are all incorrect and there are only 12 performances included (around 37 minutes). There are quartet outings with either Russ Freeman or Hampton Hawes on piano and tracks from a classic session with tenor saxophonist Jack Montrose. The somewhat random nature of this set is unfortunate, for Pepper is in superior form throughout, with highlights including "Tickle Toe," "The Way You Look Tonight," and his earliest recordings of such originals as "Susie the Poodle," "Straight Life," and "Surf Ride." ~ Scott Yanow
Reviews
Down Beat (3/93, p.35) - 4 Stars - Very Good - "...a fine release consisting of three different sessions from the early '50s, now available in all its glory..." Down Beat (9/96, p.59) - 5 Stars - Excellent - "...Pepper...is sharp, fleet and brimming with ideas; his vinegary tone and superbly contrary intelligence are immediately recognizable..."
