Art

Art Farmer had become a true jazz legend by the

time he died on October 4, 1999, at the age of 71. A

master of the trumpet and the flugelhorn, Farmer first

gained fame with the celebrated Jazztet, a group he

formed with saxophonist Benny Golson. Farmer and

Tommy Flanagan had known each other since at least

1956, when they both participated on the album Oscar

Pettiford Orchestra in Hi-Fi. This release presents

Farmer's outstanding original quartet LP Art in its

entirety, featuring Tommy Flanagan on piano, Tommy

Williams on bass, and Albert "Tootie" Heath on drums.
