Art Pepper uses the well-known standards for Among Friend and breathes new life into the veterans. The ballads’ Round Midnight, What’s New and Besame Mucho particularly benefit from this. Pepper and his colleagues Russ Freeman (piano), Bob Magnusson (bass) and Frank Butler (drums) are in top form. Recommendation for every jazz collection.
We recommend the use of “L’Art du Son” CD / DVD conditioner to improve the sound even more.
