Prime-Cut Straight-Ahead Jazz Delicacy .......2007-03-09

This may not blow your socks off right away, but chances are it will eventually work its way to the higher echelons of your jazz collection. While the lyrical trumpeter made many outstanding recordings, this 1988 album must be one of his best for shear beauty and enjoyment. There's a good mix of ballads and medium-tempo numbers, and every song is very, very (add your own superlative). Great balance between Farmer and his front-line partner (Clifford Jordan) on soprano and tenor sax. Great sound quality (for me, this makes it a slightly better choice than MODERN ART, another of my favorites). Get it soon.

Farmer's Masterpiece.......2005-03-28

Art Farmer's finest recording. This is NOT smooth jazz, this is the real thing.

Blame it on genius.......2004-10-07

I have one thing to recommend concerning this album - play it side-by-side with Kind of Blue, and I think you will find there is little too choose between them. This album is that good, surpassed only, in my opinion, by A Love Supreme.

Prize of my collection.......2004-04-13

This is the prize of my collection. I have been thrilling to this cd for over 5 years now and when I put it on I dont want to hear anything else for days afterwards. Every performer plays masterfully and the balance between the instruments is so perfectly recorded that you can hear each with perfect clarity at all times. Truly Helen Keane should be counted as member of the group. This cd doesnt break ground, it is not provacative, it is just jazz played better than anything else recorded. Just buy it and you will wish they had recorded more than 3 cds together like the rest of us fans of this cd.

Smooth jazz from a group of masters.......2003-11-30

Art Farmer combines one of the most beautiful of trumpet tones with a tremendous song selection while backed by absolutely brilliant players to create a CD that is immensely pleasurable to listen to. Clifford Jordan and Art Farmer together can create melodic lines that compare to some of the greatest trumpet -sax duos in bop history. There is something more than just technical vituosity at play here though. This CD has a mood setting quality that proves that the best jazz involves a level of musical interpretation that is bigger than the sum of it's parts.

Shabozz!.......2004-08-19

Perfect jazz from 1955. I should say only this thing to end my review and it will be more than enough. But nevertheless I want to add something. This album contains only originals no standards here. There's space for some more experiments (in the will to break the 32 bar song form), the music infact is conventional hard bop in some cases and other tunes are instead more adventurous. The opener for example is a devastating hard bop tune penned by Farmer, while all the other tunes are Gryce's. I think noone could resist the beauty, the happyness and the optimism of "Forecast". It's exilarating ! "Evening in Casablanca" is a strange mellow tune, long in its form, that really let you think to Bogey! "Nica's tempo" is another fast swinger even if different in his progression from the common hard bop tunes of the time, you simply have to hear the piano to understand it. "Satellite" has another really nice hard bop theme, similar in its intent to "Forecast" but less catching. Solos ar all over the album really great, you can't go wrong when Farmer take the trumpet seat accompanied by such great musicians. Gryce is a great alto player with a big shining sound somewhat in the tradition of Charlie Parker but still original enough. The rhythm section is Duke Jordan piano, Addison Farmer bass, Philly Jo Jones at the drums. Back to tracks list, "Sans souci" is a latin medium tempo tune with another beautiful theme with a great melody. The album end with "Shabozz". The tune begins with a latin rhythm but soon it became a swinger in the minor mood. For those like me who love fifties jazz this one is a musthave even if the chord progressions are quite strange sometimes but these guys were so big that they could blow over everything. Anyway .. Shabozz!!

More From Farmer & Gryce.......2004-06-22

The success of Art Farmer and Gigi Gryce's "When Farmer Met Gryce" (see my review) allowed the folks at the Prestige label to follow-up with "The Art Farmer Quintet." The alto-saxophonist again joins the trumpeter on this October 21, 1955 session once more to glowing results. Farmer's brother Addison also makes an encore performance as the recording's bassist, and is additionally joined by pianist Duke Jordan and drummer Philly Joe Jones in fine form. The original compositions -- five penned by Gryce and Jordan's "Forecast" -- are again stellar. Those who enjoyed "meeting" Gryce earlier will certainly enjoy this reunion.
