Jim Pepper - Comin' and Goin' (1983)

Of the limited discography offered to us by Jim Pepper, this is his finest contemporary recording, done with the pianist Kenny Werner's trio and several special guests. A fine representation of this Native American's work especially as a collaborator, check out the vibrant "Lakota Song," the title track, and especially "Malinyea" in tandem with pocket trumpeter Don Cherry. A reflection of his time in Woodstock at the Creative Music Studio, Pepper creates world jazz fusion with a twist relating to his heritage, something that perhaps nobody else has done, or is capable of. Of course his magnum opus "Witchi-Tai-To" is included in this inspired and inspirational set, which is highly recommended.
