In 1979 Art Pepper was recorded at two sessions that yielded two fine albums, So In Love and the New York Album. There was more first-rate material recorded in those two sessions than would fit on two LPs so difficult choices had to be made as to what material not to include on the albums released at the time. Those choices were not necessarily made on the basis of the quality of the performances but with respect to such considerations as length and congruence of repertoire within an album.
Art Pepper had a gift for intimacy. Some performers make a show of being tender or sexy or sad, but Art put his inner life on display in each solo, and he always gave his whole self to every performance; it was an urgent matter to him that he "reach" his audience. So really, any album he ever made would be worthy of the title "The Intimate…" - This one's just more than usually cozy in that it presents a wonderfully sweet little compilation of tunes, warm bop as opposed to cool or hard bop; he plays two songs on his gentle clarinet, and there are a couple of pretty solo ballads.
During his last years, Art was consciously making up for musical time lost due to illness, addiction, incarceration. From 1976 until his death in 1982 at the age of 56, he made more albums (and he'd already made quite a few) and wrote more songs than he had during what should have been his most productive period. He recorded and toured nearly nonstop. He told interviewers that for him life really did begin at fifty.
