Timeless combines most of saxophonist
Art Pepper's 1952 Savoy session
Surf Ride with tracks off some of his other '50s Savoy sessions. These tracks are solid examples of mid-'50s West Coast jazz. Given that these albums go in and out of print, the
Timeless compilations are welcome additions to the artists' catalogs, though diehards will still want to seek out the original albums -- if only for the original cover art. ~ Matt Collar
