ART PEPPER - Among Friends ORIGINAL US LP
Original US pressing on the Interplay label from 1978. 

Condition:
The cover is in EX- condition (cover wear) and the record is in EX condition.
One of a series of comeback albums recorded after Art had spent years in drug rehabilitation. Now with a new marriage & sense of purpose he proceeded to record as if there were no tomorrow. The difference in these later recordings compared to his early work is the amount of passion & soul driving every note as if any might be the last he'd ever play! This fine outing also includes the talents of Russ Freeman Bob Magnusson & Frank Butler.

[isdntekvideo] AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow: Art Pepper mostly sticks to standards on this Discovery LP, but he brings out new life in the veteran songs, particularly on such ballads as "Round Midnight," "What's New" and "Besame Mucho." With the assistance of pianist Russ Freeman, bassist Bob Magnusson and drummer Frank Butler, the great altoist (who is heard just prior to signing an exclusive contract with the Galaxy label) is also in top form on such pieces as "What Is This Thing Called Love" and "I'll Remember April." An excellent (if not quite essential) release.
