Art Pepper, "Landscape"

Recorded live in Japan, 1979. One of many of Art's terrific live sets.

(My dear wife, sitting near at her desk, just asked me to "STOP TAPPING YOUR FOOT, PLEASE", while I am listening to this. Yeah, right. In my headphones, Art is swinging/wailing, with terrific backing by George Cables (piano), Tony Dumas (bass), and Billy Higgins (drums). Man, can't wait to move into our next house - my own office! No more headphones! Foot tapping gone wild! Woo-hoo!
