PEPPER, ART - THE COMPLETE MAIDEN VOYAGE RECORDINGS

Maiden Voyage był klubem jazzowym w pobliżu MacArthur Park w Los Angeles w latach 1979-1983. W sierpniu 1981 roku legenda saksofonu altowego Art Pepper, pianista George Cables, basista David Williams i perkusista Carl Burnett zagrali siedem setów w trzy kolejne noce.
Muzyk/producent Ed Michel i żona Arta, Laurie Pepper, byli obecni i nagrali wszystkie występy. Słuchając taśm, Art robił skrupulatne notatki na temat każdego występu, pisząc takie rzeczy jak "Najlepsze solo, jakie zagrałem tej nocy - wow!!!" i "To jest warte całej nocy!". Niestety, Art zmarł 10 miesięcy później. Niektóre z występów znalazły się na pośmiertnych wydawnictwach, takich jak Arthur's Blues, Art Lives, The Maiden Voyage Sessions, Vol. 3, Roadgame i The Complete Galaxy Recordings, ale teraz po raz pierwszy wszystkie trzy wieczory można usłyszeć w całości.
The Complete Maiden Voyage Recordings zostało wyprodukowane przez Laurie Pepper i nagrodzoną Grammy® producentkę Cheryl Pawelski i zawiera 42 występy (23 wcześniej niepublikowane) na siedmiu płytach, plus wszystkie rozmowy między piosenkami i historie z trzech wieczorów Arta w klubie w Los Angeles. 44-stronicowa książeczka zawiera zdjęcia, oryginalne odręczne notatki i komentarze Arta, efemerydy oraz nowy esej autorstwa Laurie Pepper opowiadający historię Arta. Przygotuj się więc na prawdziwe doświadczenie klubu jazzowego w Los Angeles. Przeżyj ponownie trzy letnie noce w Maiden Voyage, kiedy Art i jego zespół dali z siebie wszystko.
