Vinyl only spin list

Bingeing on some Art Pepper this afternoon. Starting with sessions from 1956/7 on Pacific Jazz PJ60 'The Artistry Of Pepper' an early compilation with some heavy West Coast supporting players. pepper_art__artistryo_101b.jpg

Followed by a 1960 session released in '63 while Art was incarcerated showing ironically he was moving toward the free style of Trane and Coleman on a set of standards. Quite taken by the pianist Dolo Coker. Contemporary S7607 (OJC repress)pepper_art__intensity_101b.jpg
Finishing up with a mid 70's comeback 'Living Legend' Contemporary S7633
Supported by a stellar rhythm section (Hampton Hawes, Charlie Haden, and Shelly Manne) Pepper demonstrates he hadn't lost his incredible tone on a set of originals, and a great 'Here's That Rainy Day'artpepperlivinglegend-cover-1600.jpg

That's actually a pretty cool sound, and it spreads out the soundstage substantially depending speaker efficiency and the toe in placement...The efficiency is kind of important because it wont be quite as loud especially when hot transients occur because the cones are firing in reverse direction so low efficiency means much lower available volume. Thats a trick I use on channel inputs ( pro class mixing consoles allow polarity reversal individualy on each channel) regarding kick drum in the drummers monitor to keep the drum monitor from putting a time slur in the Front Of House PA.
Thanks. I learned something.
