You would have made a better deal by getting the 2CD release

B00006901B.01._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V1116264959_.jpg

It has all ten tracks that were on the two StraightAhead vinyls plus another tune (Holiday Flight) from those gigs.

Still that CD has one big drawback: It's a CD only :D

Nothing beats good ol' Vinyl - that one's gonna last forever (and who knows what future umpteenth-generation CD players might do with present-day CD's one day - "data format not recognized" etc. ) :g

No, seriously: At the time the two LP's were around (even as secondhand items) the CD might not have been on the market yet so there was no choice.

Finally, thanks for the line-up, Chuck Nessa. Will note it on my copy tonight after work.

Thanks for reminding me of the glory of vinyl! Just what I needed :D

But in the case of albums like the Peppers, I am not holding out on buying the music on CDs specially when they have added tracks (one in that particular case). The original recording by Bob Andrews (bless him wherever he is now) was not exactly state of the art. The sound on that CD reissue is nothing to be ashamed of!

oh is that really so

Well, yes, you should get all the Art Pepper Contemporarys before delving into low-fi live recordings. This one even has Art playing Ornette Coleman's Tears Inside.

The other of the two Straight Ahead Jazz LP's (Vol. 1 - SAJ-1001) gives May 31, 1953 as the recording date for the final 6 tracks of the above listing. Is this definitely wrong? Have both LP's been recorded on March 30/April 1, 1953?

Just wondering ...

FWIW The JazzFactory double CD releases gives all 3 dates (March 30, April 1 and May 31, 1953) for the recordings.

I think the May date is bogus. I knew Bob Andrews a bit and remember asking him about the date. I think he said it was recorded "on one or two nights".
