Jim Pepper-Pepper's Pow Wow-JAZZ ROCK-NEW LP
Jim Pepper-Pepper's Pow Wow
NEW LP
REISSUE
A strangely beautiful little record -- the standout career effort from tenorist Jim Pepper -- a Native American player who draws heavily here on his heritage!
Although Pepper plays sax on most numbers, he also sings a fair bit too -- in kind of a raspy style that alternates from slightly soulful to somewhat chanting -- all in a uniquely haunting way that's unlike anything else we can think of!
There's a definite jazz core to the record -- guitar from Larry Coryell, piano from Tom Grant, and drums from Billy Cobham and Spider Rice -- but the sound is often far from standard, given the vocals and Native American influences.
Titles include the sublime "Witchitai-To" -- Pepper's lasting legacy in music -- plus "Newlyweds Song", "Nommie Nommie", "Senecas", "Yon A Ho", "Slow War Dance", and "Drums".
