“Surf Ride”   Savoy   Featuring Art Pepper and an all-star west coast jazz band.   (1954)   Another example of incongruous cover art.

   Well, I don’t know if the music doesn’t fit the cover. I haven’t heard the record. Maybe those guys where trying to come up with something different. “Surf Jazz?” Why not! It’s got her smilin’.

   Hey, Art Pepper graduated from the same high school as me! San Pedro is a beach town, so maybe that’s where the surf bit came in.

   You know Art Pepper has been in an out on heroin. I figure once he was so stoned he wrote a song about a girl surfing on a lollipop stick.

   Jazz was the first music to be used as a soundtrack for surf years before the music now associated with it
