Along with 1957's Meets the Rhythm Section, which featured Miles Davis's band behind him, 1960's Smack Up forms the cornerstone of the altoist's first classic period. As the title may or may not hint at, Pepper would soon after vanish from the scene, the result of heroin addiction and related prison terms. Buoyed by the presence of trumpeter Jack Sheldon, Pepper intently runs through six saxophonist-penned cuts (plus two alternate takes) from the books of the legendary (Benny Carter), the contemporary (Harold Land's title track, Buddy Collette, Jack Montrose, Ornette Coleman), and the obscure (Duane Tatro). His own blues "Las Cuevas de Mario" would become a staple of his mid-1970s repertoire (his second classic period). No matter what baggage he brought with him into the studio, Pepper always seemed to rise to the occasion. --Marc Greilsamer

Art Pepper redux.......2007-05-26
Smack Up: Perfect title.......2006-02-21
Art's second-to-last Contemporary album during the classic 1956-60 period, and it's consistently top-notch. The title track is the highlight, a real handsome Harold Land tune taken up-tempo. Jack Sheldon plays a lyrical trumpet when heard; unfortunately, he's not featured prominently here. Frank Butler's drumming is extremely inventive throughout. Pepper's playing is relaxed and imaginative, especially on the 5/4 blues LAS CUEVAS DE MARIO. Indicative of an awareness of Things To Come, Art even includes an Ornette Coleman composition in this set - TEARS INSIDE. Drug addiction was beginning to take its toll on Art's life, and it wasn't long after this date that he was busted and began a long jail term. This is an album anyone would be proud of, though.

Art's art.......2002-10-08
To my ears, Pepper's is an engaging voice on this session, alternately lyrical and cerebral, taking a few risks but quickly retreating. He hasn't made the commitment to achieving the "emotional moment" that seemed to characterize his work after 1975, making each of his solos a kind of epiphanic quest.
Sheldon sounds bolder than ever on this recording, providing strong hints of the extroverted trumpet soloist he's become since the mid-nineties (his relative obscurity is a sad commentary not just on the music scene in general but the elitist jazz critics who declare who belongs in the church of what's happening now). Jolly is plenty nimble, but his left-hand voicings are pretty basic and his melodic lines fail to elevate the proceedings. Butler is still the world's most underrated drummer; without him, this session would have been little more than a period piece. Finally, Contemporary deserves some kind words. The miking of the individual instruments, the balance between the rhythm section and soloists, the attention to dynamic nuance (missing on the Blue Note recordings of this period) all contribute to a sound that, though recorded over 40 years ago, could have been captured just yesterday.

very good .......2006-10-01
don't misunderstand.......2005-11-22
Don't Believe the Hype.......2002-04-21
However, with the political correctiveness that runs the world today, many feminists and anti-domestic violence advocates caused a stir in the media saying that this song was sexist and degrading. With media news hounds interviewing such people and groups as Denise Brown (sister of murder victim Nicole Brown Simpson) and N.O.W., many rush to criticize Prodigy when in fact the title totally means something else in British slang (a similar case was when the film "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" was released in the USA; the term "shag" doesn't mean anything offensive in the USA, however the film was retitled for release in the United Kingdom, because the term "shag" is used as an expletive in that country's lingo).
Overall, "Smack My Bitch Up" was one of 1997's best songs. Madonna is one smart business woman if she is able to sign this great band on her label before anyone else could. What a great band and song!
