Art Pepper was an American jazz saxophonist known for his skill on the clarinet and alto-sax. He began playing professionally at a young age, joining Benny Carter's band when he was just 17 years old. After serving in the military during World War II, Pepper became one of the leading alto-saxophonists of the 1950s, particularly associated with the West Coast Jazz scene. His talent and contributions to jazz were recognized when he was inducted into the Down Beat Jazz Hall of Fame in 1982. Born on September 1, 1925 in Gardena, California, Pepper passed away on June 15, 1982 in Los Angeles.

Pepper's music is often compared to other influential artists such as Dexter Gordon, Sonny Stitt, Kenny Dorham, Lee Konitz, Sonny Rollins and more. His unique style and passion for jazz continue to inspire musicians today.

Record Store Day 2017 release. Recorded in late 1956 and released in early 1957, the same year as the landmark Art Pepper Meets The Rhythm Section, The Art Pepper Quartet (Art Pepper: saxophone; Russ Freeman: piano; Ben Tucker: bass; Gary Fromer: drums) is back on vinyl for Record Store Day 2017. Mastered from the original mono tapes by Kevin Gray, this is not only a reissue for the (multi-generational) ages, it's the album's first appearance on vinyl in far too long. Now on clear wax, reproducing the original art and liner notes on an era-correct "tip-on" jacket, the project was overseen by Art's widow, Laurie Pepper, and Grammy-winning producer Cheryl Pawelski. To make this pressing even more special and unique, the alternate take of "Blues At Twilight" has been included as a bonus track. A gem on all fronts—this is how Jazz should be experienced. All analog chain from tape to vinyl, with beautiful packaging. Ladies and Gentlemen, The Art Pepper Quartet.
