Long, busy workday. ... Now, some music. 

Jim Pepper - Comin' and Goin' (Europa, 1983)

oh yes! Jim Pepper is described as 'overlooked' so often I wonder whether he really is.  If he is he shouldn't be.

I always loved the cover for this. He looks incredibly tough.

I agree. It's a potent image.

James Williams was so great, and he died too early. 

I´ll never forget how impressed I was by his playing on the first Blakey LP I had "In This Korner". And then seeing him perform with Blakey with that band with Bobby Watson and Valery Ponomarev...

The last time I saw James Williams was when he played piano in a very strong Dizzy Gillespie Big Band organized for his 70th Birthday Tour in 1987.

Yes  this Art Blakey group was great. We had  a concert in our private Jazz Club (Koblenz, Germany) in 1979.

Man I wish Bob Brookmeyer hadn't been such a cantankerous jerk on the old Jazz Corner forums. Now, whenever I see one of his records, it's one of the first things I think of.

Thanks HutchFan

possibly the thinnest vinyl in my collection, practically a flexi

I always wondered why it was so cheap when I saw it.
