Inspired by Art Pepper's classic 1959 album Art Pepper + Eleven, Alan commissioned arranger Mark Nightingale to write thirteen new charts for a twelve-piece big band, each based on a tune written in 1959 — the year of Alan's own birth. The result is a vivid, full-throated tribute to one of jazz's most fertile years.
