I LOVE Art Pepper's music-making. After his release from prison in the early seventies he recorded several splendid albums, The Trip was one of them.

This is A song for Richard, it's beautiful:

Miles Davis (trumpet), John Coltrane (tenor sax), Red Garland (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), Philly Joe Jones (drums)

Miles signed up with Columbia Records in 1956, however, he was still contractually obliged to record another four LPs with Reprise and so on the 11 and 26 October he took his quintet into the studio and recorded four wonderful LPS: Workin', Cookin', Steamin' & Relaxin'

Here is 'It Never Entered My Mind', Miles plays with the rhythm section and it features solos by Miles and Red Garland, Coltrane does not play on this track:

Playing Brad Meldhau -Largo just now.
Good album. Forgot how old it is.
