Two more essential Art Pepper reissues, originally recorded in 1960, are the albums Gettin' Together! and Intensity.
Originally released on either side of Smack Up, these albums underscore just how refreshingly creative Pepper was at the time. The San Francisco Examiner sums up 1963's Intensity, the last release of his early period, as Pepper being "well on his way toward a new kind of playing freedom." Writes AllMusic, "Pepper sticks to swinging standards such as ‘I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me,' ‘Gone with the Wind, and ‘I Wished on the Moon' as points of departure on this interesting and largely enjoyable set."
This new edition, released as part of the Contemporary Records Acoustic Sounds Series, features (AAA) lacquers cut from the original master tapes by Bernie Grundman and is pressed on 180-gram vinyl at QRP, and presented in a Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket.
