This 50 minute jazz DVD features Art Pepper, one of the great alto saxophonists. This documentary is a painfully revealing portrait of this cult figure and contains lots of mus ic.

An intensely personal and sometimes painful look into the fascinating world of Art Pepper. One of Jazz' greatest alto saxophonists and most expressive soloists, Pepper was also a thief, drug addict, alcoholic, womanizer, and world renown wildman. In candid interviews he recounts his triumphs, troubles, and luck in meeting Laurie, his last wife.
For half the film Pepper leads a trio in a Malibu nightclub, the set includes: "Red Car", "Patricia", and "Miss Who?".

  • love the musics.. :)

  • This is a great documentary. Well paced, great music clips, well narrated. I saw it on Channel 4 (UK) back in 1988. It's really interesting to now watch the first performance where Art talks about his band.

  • whats the tune at 26:25

  • It's very moving to watch him listen to "Our Song" (from "Winter Moon") (at 42 minutes). It's such a beautiful recording. What an exceptional artist.

  • chet baker ratted him out apparantly - in Straight Life Art refers to him as Billy Wilson

  • What is the tune at 40:52 .

  • thank you so much! amazing.

  • Born this day September 1, 1925. RIP

  • beautiful and very movin'

    A lot of thanks
