about
Go back through time and space and enter the studio at Kendun Recorders in Los Angeles in May of 1979. Introducing a new kind of Freebie: SECRET OUTTAKES. I've acquired some uncut, unissued tracks of music recorded for the Artists House albums
This incomplete track was recorded in L.A. by producer John Snyder (he's the white guy in the photo holding the camera). The band could not be more wonderful: George Cables, piano, Charlie Haden, bass, Billy Higgins, Drums, and of course Art Pepper. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the talk at the end of the track, because it takes me back to that exciting time, when Art Pepper was solidly into his big comeback and playing so well with such wonderful artists! Join me and them in the studio for eight and a half delightful minutes!

lyrics
I love my work, because it's Art
If you're a fan, you'll play YOUR part
The song is free
But the work takes time
The music's sublime
But the effort is mine...
to research and fix it
and present it & mix it.
The next release
is bound to please,
but the choosing the writing, compiling, and layout
the shipping. receiving, the clearing and payout
for mastering, printing, manufacturing and so on
are all up to me, and I promise to go on
posting, releasing, and loving to do it.
as you, the fans, support me all through it.
Thanks.
If you've been downloading these tracks for free for a while, feel GUILTY. And donate. I promise, you'll feel so much better if you do.
