Smack Up
by Art Pepper Quintet
Recorded shortly before the alto saxophonist began a lengthy prison sentence for narcotics possession. The session uniquely consists entirely of compositions penned by fellow saxophonists, including Ornette Coleman and Benny Carter, signaling a stylistic shift away from West Coast cool toward muscular, angular bop.
