  • Description

    Coming of age at the dawn of the bebop era, Art Farmer rejected the mechanical playing much of bebop seemed to encourage. Instead, Farmer became known for his warm, fluid tone, and his ability to make the trumpet sing like a tender yet stately baritone voice. On Modern Art (United Artists Records UAS-5007), his last small group collaboration with Bill Evans -with whom he had first recorded in 1956-, Farmer emphasizes style over technique. The group swings with both authority and subtlety on all eight tracks, making this album one of the best records of this period. A series of dates recorded that same year, which feature both Farmer and Evans with alto saxophonist Hal McKusick, have been added here as a bonus.

    Description

    THE COMPLETE ALBUM + 8 BONUS TRACKS - INCLUDES 16-PAGE BOOKLET WITH MEMORABILIA AND UPDATED LINER NOTES. Presented here is the complete original album Modern Art, highlighting the brilliance of Art Farmer, Bill Evans, and Benny Golson.



    As a bonus, three further group sessions have been added, the first two led by alto saxophonist Hal McKusick, and the third featuring a sextet conducted by pianist/composer/arranger George Russell. Art Farmer and Bill Evans feature on all three sessions.



    "This is a set that must rank among the finest, most musical, most stimulating, and most satisfying of the year. Don't miss this one." - Down Beat (Dom Cerulli), 5 STARS
