I'm still not sure what happened to the Kitchen Cabinet and why I never got a reply about a faulty track that I can't even re-download to figure out if it went broken on my end ...

Not a big fan of this track-by-track approach, and not sure inhowfar it makes much sense, but then I'm one of the dying breed of CD buyers, so ignore my judgment.

Same here .... really do appreciate Laurie`s efforts regarding Art Pepper`s legacy, nevertheless issuing individual tracks is somehow like providing a taster without a following (full) meal ....

Just downloaded it - SQ is fine by me (heard a lot worse) - Laurie states the sound quality is not up to scratch. Recorded in Adelaide in 1981 with Cables, Williams & Burnett. Nice to have some live AP from downunder.

Hi folks,

I have another version of Road Waltz (complete 13:59) played at Mr Wards in Melbourne on August 25, 1981. Is Laurie's one from this date (another set) or another date???

This is a different version than the one played in Melbourne. I think it's better. But haven't listened to the Melbourne tracks in quite a while. A Melbourne fan, thinking he was doing Art a favor, slipped Art some pills which combined with whatever Art was drinking to affect the quality of the music not for the better. That's what I recall anyway and why I haven't listened.

 Have released 9 complete albums on CD.  Find them at Amazon and CD Baby. http:bit.ly//BuyArtPepper.  There are even more cds and LPs offered by Omnivore. I offer the freebies and nearly-freebies (single tracks) as a FAVOR to fans and am kinda surprised to find folks complaining about them--looking into this gift horses mouth. These folks are entitled not to download them, of course.

Dear Laurie bought over the years/decades nearly every Art Pepper release available including the one's issued/curated by yourself .... just shared my personal view on individual tracks (independently whether for free or not. ....) and that some of these are fragments which make me wanna hear the full story .... no more said - but also no less ....

Aw i've gotta stay away from all these jazz boards. I always wind up offended and then I get salty. Can't help it. Goodbye forever.

Forever is a long time, more than I have, anyway.
