Miles Davis's band was passing through Los Angeles, and Lester Koenig booked a session at Contemporary's studio for a single day. In 1957 the rhythm section had been Red Garland, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones. By February 1960 it was Wynton Kelly, Chambers (still in the chair) and Jimmy Cobb, fresh from recording \u003cem\u003eKind of Blue\u003c\/em\u003e. Conte Candoli sits in on trumpet for \"Whims Of Chambers,\" \"Bijou The Poodle\" and \"Rhythm-A-Ning,\" adding a front line that the earlier album didn't have. Pepper plays alto on most of the date but picks up the tenor for \"Bijou The Poodle\" (his own tune, named after his dog) and the closing blues, \"Gettin' Together,\" which Martin Williams's liner notes say Pepper insisted on recording because he wanted a tenor blues on the album. The material covers a wide spread: a Thelonious Monk line, a Paul Chambers composition, a ballad by André Previn and Dory Langdon, and three Pepper originals alongside \"Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKelly's touch is the constant through the session. He comps with that light, percussive feel that made him one of the most in-demand pianists of the period, and his solo spots are unhurried and swinging. Chambers and Cobb lock together the way a rhythm section does when it's been playing every night on the road, which they had been. Pepper's playing across the date is lyrical and direct, more relaxed than the 1957 session. This was one of Pepper's last recordings before heroin addiction took him off the scene for most of the 1960s, though the music gives no sign of that. This is a 1974 Japanese limited edition pressing from the Contemporary Jazz 1500 Series on LAX 3017, manufactured by King Record Co.
