Art Pepper was an American jazz saxophonist known for his skill on the clarinet and alto-sax. He began playing professionally at a young age, joining Benny Carter's band when he was just 17 years old. After serving in the military during World War II, Pepper became one of the leading alto-saxophonists of the 1950s, particularly associated with the West Coast Jazz scene. His talent and contributions to jazz were recognized when he was inducted into the Down Beat Jazz Hall of Fame in 1982. Born on September 1, 1925 in Gardena, California, Pepper passed away on June 15, 1982 in Los Angeles.

Pepper's music is often compared to other influential artists such as Dexter Gordon, Sonny Stitt, Kenny Dorham, Lee Konitz, Sonny Rollins and more. His unique style and passion for jazz continue to inspire musicians today.

1980 Japan-only release now expanded for the world. ? Features 2 bonus tracks?1 previously unissued. ? New liner notes from Laurie Pepper. In 1977 Art came back from the dead. Or so it seemed to those who followed him, followed his music. And then in 1979, the Japanese came calling in the guise of a small record label, Yupiteru, later Atlas. They wanted Art to record for them. By then, Art was under exclusive contract to Fantasy/Galaxy records and couldn't record as a leader. However, and I think I deserve credit for this sneaky idea, he could be a "sideman." And he could choose the "leaders." He did six albums for Atlas with six terrific "leaders." And they are classics, now. ?Laurie Pepper from her liner notes Originally issued as Strike Up The Band by Pete Jolly And His West Coast Friends in 1980, this material was recorded in February of that year with Jolly on piano, Art Pepper on sax, bassist Bob Magnusson, and Roy McCurdy on drums.
