This is the first show of Art Pepper's first tour ever and he sounds like he's having a ball, playing with warm, fleet-fingered exuberance, which is infectious on the latin grooves and cookers. The ballads will break your frickin' heart though. This version of The Summer Knows is simply monumental. It's worth the price of admission by itself. I love how the rhythm section matches Art's intensity. Bernie Senensky is stellar and has a great rapport with Art. waylonfeedback
