Although Art Farmer was not named “New Star” of the year in the Down Beat poll until 1958 (the year this album was recorded), his reputation among musicians had already been established because of his work with Lionel Hampton, Gigi Gryce and Gerry Mulligan.
Although he now concentrates on flugelhorn, he achieved comparable lyricism as a trumpeter for many years, as these pages show. With a rhythm section that includes his twin brother, the late Addison Farmer, on bass, as well as pianist Hank Jones and drummer Roy Haynes, he is featured here with three original compositions (two of which are blues) and five other suitable pieces such as Benny Golson’s “Stablemates.” Farmer felt that this was the best album he had made at this stage of his career.
