Stoughton Printing gatefold old-style tip-on jackets Series supervised by Chad Kassem CEO of Acoustic Sounds Continuing Craft Recordings’ celebration of seminal jazz artists from Contemporary Records Two more essential Art Pepper reissues, originally recorded in 1960, are the albums Gettin’ Together! and Intensity. Originally released on either side of Smack Up, these albums underscore just how refreshingly creative Pepper was at the time. Gettin’ Together’s tight “Bijou the Poodle,” penned by Pepper, leads the way, with Jazzwise admiring its “angularity…representing the darker side of the Californian jazz idyll.” Often described as a sequel to Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section, Gettin’ Together! once again finds Pepper backed on beat by Miles Davis alums (bassist Paul Chambers, drummer Jimmy Cobb). Meanwhile, the San Francisco Examiner sums up 1963’s Intensity, the last release of his early period, as Pepper being “well on his way toward a new kind of playing freedom.” Writes AllMusic, “Pepper sticks to swinging standards such as ‘I Can’t Believe That You’re in Love with Me,’ ‘Gone with the Wind, and ‘I Wished on the Moon’ as points of departure on this interesting and largely enjoyable set.” Track Listing I Can’t Believe That You’re in Love With Me I Love You Come Rain or Come Shine Long Ago (And Far Away) Gone With the Wind I Wished on the Moon Too Close for Comfort Five Points New Quick view Add to wishlist Add to basket Alice Cooper – Welcome To My Nightmare – Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series Hybrid Stereo SACD £45.00 -43% Quick view Add to wishlist Add to basket Amanda McBroom Midnight Matinee XRCD24 £35.00 £20.00 -25% Quick view Add to wishlist Add to basket Aretha Franklin — Lady Soul – Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) 45RPM 180g 2 LP Vinyl Record £79.95 £59.95 Quick view Add to wishlist Add to basket Arnett Cobb – Ballads By Cobb – Analogue Productions 180g Stereo Vinyl £49.95
