Goin' Home album by Art Pepper was released Jul 01, 1991 on the Original Jazz Classics label. Art Pepper's final recording sessions were comprised of duets with pianist George Cables. Goin' Home songs Pepper, who splits his time almost evenly here between alto and clarinet, is in surprisingly strong form considering that he only had a month left to live. He is heard at his best on "Goin' Home," "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying," "Isn't She Lovely," and "Lover Man," really pouring out his emotions into the ballads. Two alternate takes were added to the CD reissue, although for the complete picture, one has to acquire Art Pepper's 16-CD Galaxy box set, which contains plenty of otherwise unissued performances. ~ Scott Yanow
