Kevin Gray made the lacquers from the original master tapes at Cohearent Audio, and RTI pressed the record on 180-gram vinyl. It comes in a Stoughton tip-on jacket with an obi strip carrying the session credits, and the disc wears a red Savoy label under the Craft catalog number CR00865.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jacket keeps Harvey Ragsdale's painted surfing cover on the front.

Side A opens with the March 29, 1953 date, where Pepper's alto is backed by Russ Freeman on piano, Bob Whitlock on bass and Bobby White on drums, then moves to March 4, 1952, with Hampton Hawes, Joe Mondragon and Larry Bunker. Side B is given entirely to the August 25, 1954 session, adding Jack Montrose on tenor saxophone alongside Claude Williamson, Monty Budwig and Bunker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePepper composed ten of the twelve titles, among them \"Straight Life\" and \"Holiday Flight\"; the other two are Lester Young's \"Tickle Toe\" and the Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields standard \"The Way You Look Tonight.\" Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Scott Yanow found Pepper in superior form throughout, while faulting the somewhat random way the set was assembled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTickle Toe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChili Pepper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSusie The Poodle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrown Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoliday Flight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurf Ride\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Way You Look Tonight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCinnamon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNutmeg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThyme Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArt's Oregano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 888072685062\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Craft Recordings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.14.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Craft Recordings","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":67500928303262,"sku":"EVP-B9C398C2-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/CR00865ArtPepper-SurfRidePackShotwobi.png?v=1791398941","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/art-pepper-surf-ride-original-jazz-classics-series","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
