Art Farmer: The Session Musicians

Trumpeter and fluglehornist Art Farmer came up in the heyday of bebop, quickly settling into the grooves of bandleaders like Quincy Jones (“Pogo Stick”) and Benny Golson (“Something In B Flat”). His classy, expansive style made medium-sized groups sound bigger than they were, as heard with the Hank Mobley Quintet (“Funk In Deep Freeze”) and George Russell's “Smalltet” (“Ezz-Thetic”).
