Wong/Kavee/Perea: GATHERING OF ANCESTORS

This is a group of musicians who count Jim Pepper as one of the key influences on their work; although they don't perform or record Pepper compositions (on this or other CDs), they are included here because of the close (and conscious) tie between their work and Pepper's legacy
In his liner notes to the CD, bassist Perea says that "The music of Jim Pepper has set a precedent for me as an American Indian jazz artist that allows me to perform the music and know that I have a history I can look back upon and draw strength from when I need it."
