This CD presents the complete master takes from thelegendary 1957 "Omega Sessions". The first eleven tracks wereoriginally marketed on two 7 1/2 ips reel-to-reel stereophonic tapes by theOmegatape label, between 1957 and 1958. "Summertime" was not issueduntil the early 1980's on Lp on the Nadja label in Japan. The two previouslyunreleased tracks appear here for the first time. However, both tracks are missingfrom the so-called "The Complete Art Pepper Aladdin Recordings"marketed by the Mosaic and Blue Note record labels.

The recordings were made on April 1 & 2, 1957 at thesmall Audio Arts Studio in Hollywood and the man who made them possible was DonClark, a young disc jockey, concert promoter and Pepper fan, who in June 1956,become a good friend of the altoist. At that time, Art Pepper had been justreleased after serving 19 months in prison for heroin possession and Clarkbegan acting as his personal manager, contributing to Pepper's rapid andsuccessful return to the jazz scene. Clark after being directly involved inbooking gigs and also in some of the most brilliant LPs Art Pepper recorded inthose days, was finally able to reach his dream of becoming a record producerwhen he was appointed president of Intro Records at the end of 1956."Clark brought Art Pepper to the label and that's how he got the job. THATwas his connection. ART was his ticket. It provided Clark with a job, and itgot Art on wax, as we used to say in the old days," stated West Coastjournalist John Tynan. The full history of how these recordings came outoriginally on Omegatape (and not on LP by intro) can be read in the outstandingbooklet.
