Art Pepper Returns  A cool cover to an Art Pepper EP on Sonet Records (UK).   Art Pepper’s autobiography “Straight Life” is a great read about the West Coast jazz scene and the alto legend’s addiction to heroin, prison stints and memorable comebacks.   I believe this cover photo is by Bill Claxton.
