Free Music Notes for Living Legend Album
Free Music Review: Lutherans Swing!
Hit: 5 Stars
The previous reviewer says it all about this album--its surprising combination of competence and freshness despite the alto saxophonist's 15-year-hiatus not only from the recording studio but from playing (though between Alcatraz and Synanon, Art did briefly try to "catch on" by playing tenor saxophone in the Coltrane style). It's especially good to get the album back after losing my LP version 15 years ago. Originally, it was an "impulse purchase" on my part, motivated by the cover photo of Art wearing a cut-off shirt with a "Texas Lutheran" insignia (a college campus I've visited). I've never figured out the direct connection between Art and the small church-affiliated college. But on this album Pepper re-traces Martin Luther's own "Lost Soul" and its journey from the valley of the shadow of death to the salvation awaiting the one whose faith is strong.
