Summary: Prime-Cut Straight-Ahead Jazz Delicacy 2007-03-09
Comment: 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.

Summary: Blame it on genius 2004-10-07
Comment: 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.

Summary: Prize of my collection 2004-04-13
Comment: 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.

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