The L.A. native forged a lyrical detour bypassing bebop, despite his love of Bird, and recorded a series of classic albums including \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eArt Pepper Meets The Rhythm Section\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e+ Eleven\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eGetting’ Together!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe title of this recording, \u003cem\u003eSmack Up\u003c\/em\u003e is ironic and inadvertently truthful. Within a short period, Art Pepper would begin spending many years in jail due to his heroin addiction; this was his next-to-last album from that period. Despite the bleak future, the great altoist (who never seemed to make an uninspired record during his unstable life) is in excellent form in a quintet with trumpeter Jack Sheldon, pianist Pete Jolly, bassist Jimmy Bond, and drummer Frank Butler. Highlights of this fine album include Harold Land's title cut, the five\/four blues \"Las Cuevas de Mario,\" and Ornette Coleman's \"Tears Inside.\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis new edition is on 180-gram vinyl pressed at QRP with (AAA) lacquers cut from the original tapes by Bernie Grundman and is presented in a tip-on jacket. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/smack-up-mw0000515754\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAllMusic\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"610\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/7x3h1MUMksenvv6WPtv2d7?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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, 180 g\u003cbr\u003eCountry: Worldwide\u003cbr\u003eReissued: Feb 23, 2024 \/ Original Release: 1962\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Bop, Cool Jazz\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Jazz – Saxophone\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Craft Recordings \/ Contemporary Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43366139494558,"sku":"888072554771","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/CR00706ArtPepper-SmackUpFrontCoverDropShadow-copy.jpg?v=1711033060","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/art-pepper-quintet-smack-up-2024-contemporary-records-reissue","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
