All-Star Front Line.......2007-02-25

You just can't beat this sound and feeling. Art Farmer and Gigi Gryce are a perfect match. They are an ideal tonal and stylistic compliment to each other, and conceptually are so in their element on "Farmer Met Gryce".

"A Night At Tony's" gives a great example of the essence of Gigi Gryce's composition and outlook on music - brilliantly jubilant, direct, innovative and yet not beyond the ear's reach. "Blue Lights" is a delightful minor blues; fans of "Blues and the Abstract Truth" should check that out. "The Infant's Song" is a wonderful show of arranging techinque - Gigi Gryce's counterline doesn't interfere with the tender melody played by Art Farmer - a difficult feat at a slow, exposed tempo. A must-listen for any alto/trumpet frontline.

I'm So Glad Farmer Met Gyce.......2006-11-10

Every song a knockout. I never tire of any composition. Hear these songs in random play on my ipod shuffle and I'm always astounded by the kick I get out of each song. This compilation of Gigi Gyce and Art Farmer is a must for every classic jazz collection.

One Of The Best Pre-Jazztet Farmer Albums.......2001-01-22

Art Farmer and Gigi Gryce's "When Farmer Met Gryce" is one of the best pre-Jazztet recordings by the great, late trumpeter. Originally released as two 10-inch LPs, "When Farmer Meets Gryce" is actually two sessions. The first four tunes are from a May 19, 1954 performance featuring the rhythm trio of Horace Silver, Percy Heath and Kenny Clarke, and tracks 5-8 are from a May 26, 1955 date with Freddie Redd, Art's brother Addison and Art Taylor. Of course, Art plays trumpet and Gigi Gryce is on alto sax on both sessions. All eight of the disc's compositions were penned by Gryce, who along with Farmer's future Jazztet co-founder Benny Golson, was one of Prestige's (and the late 50s jazz scene in general) best writer/arrangers. "When Farmer Met Gryce" was truly a momentous event.
