Free Music Notes for Winter Moon
Free Music Review: The finest jazz album with strings
Hit: 5 Stars
The juxtaposition of Art Pepper's searing but beautifully melodic saxophone(s) with strings only happened near the end of Pepper's career (and life), but seems perfect and inevitable. Pepper was probably in better health for this record than any other since the late 50s, and this enables him to produce wonderful, complete improvised lines. The first track, "Our Song," is worth the price by itself.Free Music Review: Art With Strings!!
Hit: 5 Stars
On hearing "Our Song" after he just recorded it for this session, Art stated that he couldn't have done better than he did on that song- he couldn't understand why anyone wouldn't like it. This was a project that was dear to his heart and the whole project is above what you would normally expect from a "strings" album of a major jazz star. This recording was one of his best from his later period.Free Music Review: A mirror on genius
Hit: 5 Stars
A critic once wrote of Art Pepper something to the effect that "he hasnt made a bad record". In my experience that is true. Winter Moon is a stellar collection of tunes which showcases the nearly unlimited talent of what might be described as the definitve alto sax player in jazz history. This one's a keeper which will entertain and,perhaps,enthrall the listener for years to comeFree Music Review: Deeply Beautfiul
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is deeply beautiful. The first notes of Art Pepper's saxophone on the first cut, "Our Song," sinks into the marrow of my bones. I may not know Art Pepper, but I know he knows my grief. I thank God for giving us Art Pepper and this music. For me, it's a very personal healing experience.Free Music Review: Orchestral Jazz
Hit: 5 Stars
A lot of musicians have tried, but Wintermoon surpasses any string jazz recording of it's kind. Alto-sax is a difficult instrument to play but Art Pepper has always made it seem easy and he makes this recording incredibly profound, beautiful and emotional.
