" Although there are only 38 minutes of music here, the quality is high. Pepper (with pianist Milcho Leviev, bassist Bob Magnusson, and drummer Carl Burnett) performs lengthy versions of two originals ("Ophelia," "My Laurie") and "Besame Mucho"; the latter was a request from his Japanese friends that was very well received and became a permanent part of his repertoire. The recording quality is excellent and Pepper is in explorative and inspired form. "
