Intensity (Art Pepper album)

Intensity is a 1960 jazz album by saxophonist Art Pepper playing with pianist Dolo Coker, bassist Jimmy Bond and drummer Frank Butler.

The album was released in 1963.

The sleeve notes (by Lester Koenig) quote Richard Hadlock, jazz editor of the San Francisco Examiner, who writes: AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow called the album an "interesting and largely enjoyable set".

Yanow also echoed Hadlock's comments, writing that "Pepper was just starting to show the influence of John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman in his style, freeing up his playing and displaying a greater intensity during his improvisations.
