IN 1978 we made our second trip to Japan. This time Art had his own band and played his own charts. It was such a great tour. This was a radio broadcast recorded in an amphitheater in Yamagata. You can hear what a wondrous and inspiring audience the band had. After Art died I was desperate for money and got some licensing this recording to Toy's Factory Records in Japan. Later I licensed it to Storyville Records.
Band is Art Pepper, Milcho Leviev, Bob Magnusson, Carl Burnett. This recording was remastered by dear James Moody of Sage and Sound Studio on Hollywood Blvd. in L.A. All the ATLAS sessions were made at this tiny efficient studio.
