Art Farmer Septet Arrangements & Compositions of Gigi Gryce and Quincy Jones CD

Description: Art Farmer Septet Arrangements & Compositions of Gigi Gryce and Quincy Jones CD Product Description In 1953, when these very fine recordings began, Art Farmer was still only 25 years old, but he had already been recognized for his engaging, balanced, and reserved playing. It was lyrical and warm at whatever tempo. On trumpet and flügelhorn, he softened hard bop into an individual style that was accommodating and open. He relaxed into tunes, then produced crystal clarity and sentiment while remaining close to a tonal center. Those qualities are apparent on these recordings, made over three years just after Farmer had moved to New York from L.A.'s Central Avenue scene. They feature choice performances by an evolving lineup that included such fine players as Charlie Rouse on tenor, Quincy Jones and Horace Silver on piano, Percy Heath on bass, and Art Taylor on drums. --Peter Monaghan Near Mint Condition Free Shipping w/ Tracking In USA Item in stock & ships in a bubble mailer within 24-48 hours of payment M-F For More Great Deals, Visit Our eBay Store https://www.ebay.com/str/DiscountRockSales
