Please Pass On The Pepper.......2000-09-08

"Surf Ride" is an early look at a giant of jazz who recorded over a thirty year period, but who is probably, and unfortunately, remembered as much for his personal problems and incarceration as for his music. This album, recorded over several sessions and with almost a dozen different musicians, suffers from a lack of cohesion among musicians, and a lack of confidence in playing by Pepper. The exception comes on the tunes with Jack Monterose, particularly the title-track, "Straight Life" and "Thyme Time." They are definitely a step up from the CD's first few quartet tracks, and they almost turn this into a four star effort. With so many classic Pepper CDs available from OJC, including "Smack Up," "Intensity," "Meets the Rhythm Section" and "Gettin' Together" (see my review), you can pass this Pepper.
