Living Legend is a 1975 jazz album by saxophonist Art Pepper playing with pianist Hampton Hawes, bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Shelly Manne.
This was Art Pepper's "comeback" album, the first to be released after his long absence due to drug addiction and incarceration in San Quentin prison.
Pepper had been finally released in 1966 and for a while only played tenor saxophone, showing how much of an influence John Coltrane had been on him in the intervening years.
Following two operations for a ruptured spleen, Pepper moved into Synanon, a rehabilitation centre for recovering addicts, and began the slow return to full-time performing and recording.
AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow wrote that "Pepper displays a more explorative and darker style than he had previously.
