2-CD SET - DIGIPAK EDITION
This set comprises two live California sessions produced by Laurie Pepper in 1975 and 1977, respectively. The music is an often deeply emotional, lingering reflection of an exceedingly hard life that was slowly receding. At this point, Pepper had spent three years in rehab at Synanon and fi rmly established himself as one of the most important alto player of the post-bop period. He is in fine form, surrounded by young players whose skills he respected.
