The sound of a man trying to get back into the room after everybody else has gone home. The one I had loved having as a door to door neighbor. That man was Art Pepper.
Art Pepper came out of California, which is a funny place to come from if you're going to spend your life playing the saxophone like you’re remembering somewhere else. California gives you sunshine, palm trees, highways stretching toward the horizon. But Pepper’s music? His music knows about the other side of the postcard.
It knows about the motel room at 3 in the morning. It knows about the cigarette burning down in the ashtray while nobody says anything. It knows that sometimes a beautiful melody isn't beautiful because it makes you happy. Sometimes it’s beautiful because it tells the truth.
Pepper had a sound that could be tender without being sentimental. Thin as a blade sometimes. Fragile. Then suddenly it would open up, and there’d be this enormous sadness behind it, like you’d just opened a door you weren't supposed to open. He played alto saxophone, but "played" hardly seems like the right word. He confessed on it.
There are musicians who seem to be standing outside the music, looking in. Art Pepper sounded like he was trapped inside it, looking out. And maybe that’s why you can hear so much life in those records. Not the life from the brochures. Not the life where everybody gets the girl, pays the rent, catches the train, and lives happily ever after. I mean the other life.
The missed train.
The empty chair.
The phone that doesn't ring.
The friend who doesn't come back.
The morning after the night before.
Pepper spent years moving through the jazz world, through brilliance and addiction, prison and recovery, triumph and collapse. And somehow, through all of it, the horn remained there.
Waiting.
Maybe that’s the thing about music. It doesn't always save you. Sometimes it just waits until you're ready to tell the truth.
So, however your day is looking, put Art Pepper on. And listen closely. Because somewhere inside that saxophone is a man walking down a dark street, carrying every place he's ever been. And he hasn't decided yet whether he's going home.
That's Art Pepper. The sound of the door closing behind you… and the music that keeps going after it does.

Andy Warhol Bridge in the rain, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA The Andy Warhol Bridge (also known as the Seventh Street Bridge) spans the Allegheny River in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is said to be the only bridge on the United States named for a visual artist. It is one of the three bridges in Pittsburgh collectively known as “The Three Sisters” because the bridges are of identical construction (the Rachel Carson Bridge and the Roberto Clemente Bridge are the other two).
A two hander play about two mismatched roommates who are not exactly a friendship made in heaven (or Manchester) where this story is set. Think the odd couple.
Joanie beds herself down for the night in her skip; after 6 failed marriages, this is preferable. Being up-cycled by Waynetta is the first time Joanie has landed on her feet, her regular position is on her back. Everything Joanie owns fits into her Fanny Bag. House training Joanie is going to be like training a feral cat – but Joanie is one glamour pussy.
Waynetta lives alone in an apartment left to her by her late Nana Cakey. After ending her last bad relationship, she now chills out watching gogglebox and occasionally dabbles lazily with contemporary art. Her medium is Pizza and coffee accidentally stained upon Junk mail. She sells her art on Shabby junk art websites to make her living. So
grab your work colleagues, mates or other halves and join 'The Peculiar Pair' in Wilsons Den.
Address: Wilsons Social, 42-44 Oldham Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester.
Dates and Times:
Thursday 9th, Friday 10th, Friday 17th with Q&A afterwards, Friday 24th, Thursday 30th and Friday 31st of July 6.30 pm till 7.30 pm

Making Moves, Creating Futures for Craft
Making Moves is a West Midlands craft development initiative
involving four regional partnerships, led by Staffordshire County
Council and Craftspace, a Birmingham based craft development
organisation. The project consisted of nine craft residencies
which took place in community settings between September
2011 and July 2012, culminating in a touring exhibition.
The nine makers were challenged by residencies in unusual
workspaces - including a hospital, a pub and a park visitor
centre - which acted as sources of inspiration to develop ideas
for new work. They worked with local communities, offering
making workshops that were high quality, inspirational and in
some cases, life-changing. The exhibition showcases new work
by the makers in response to their residency setting, as well
examples of tools, materials and work created in the community
sessions.
The project also provided opportunities for nine crafts graduates
who supported the community making sessions as well as
receiving mentoring from the resident maker. They were given a
small bursary towards the development of their practice and
have also created new work for the exhibition.
Making Moves aimed to provide valuable opportunities for
learning. Makers gave masterclasses and lectures to Higher
and Further education institutions as well as talks to the wider
community. They wrote about the residency experiences on a
project blog, as well as coming together for regular networking
sessions.
