Listen to Art Farmer and the orchestra
Beskrivning:Art Farmer var en av de främsta inom hardbop-genren, en lyriker som övergick från trumpet till flygelhorn i början av 1960-talet. Här uppbackad av ett stort studioband under ledning av Oliver Nelson. Baksidestext av Anthony Corbett.
"This delightful LP features Art Farmer with a large orchestra not long after he switched from trumpet to flügelhorn. Oliver Nelson's arrangements provide great backdrops for the leader, as do the mix of dependable studio musicians and outstanding jazzmen assembled for the three sessions, including Tommy Flanagan, Phil Woods, Clark Terry, and Jim Hall, to name a few. The choice of material is inspiring: a snappy "Raincheck," and Farmer's moody "Rue Prevail," and a relatively (then) new work by John Coltrane, "Naima," which turns into a richly textured tour de force in the hands of Farmer & co."
