Excluding a 1973 recording with \u003c\/span\u003eMike Vax\u003cspan\u003e's big band, it would be 15 years before Art Pepper led another record date in the studios. — via Label\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/3qCxmG6OVewGpV1sAXeQtv?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Craft Recordings, Contemporary Records\u003cbr\u003eSeries: Contemporary Records Acoustic Sounds Series\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo, 180g\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2024 \/ Original Release: 1963\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Contemporary Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Jazz - Saxophone\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Contemporary Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45236621508766,"sku":"888072590168","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/a0507450337_10.jpg?v=1741779782","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/art-pepper-intensity-2024-contemporary-records-acoustic-sounds-series","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
