Art Pepper left a legacy of innumerable appearances on records, but his
sessions for Contemporary always seemed to find him in the best company and in
the best shape. Here his impassioned alto sax is appropriately applied to the
compositions of six saxophonists, among them Benny Carter, Ornette Coleman, and
Pepper himself. The presence of Jack Sheldon in a rare performance as a
small-group trumpeter was another important factor in the album's success.
