1	Blame It on My Youth (1988) more music like this by Art Farmer Quintet This is one of the better Art Farmer recordings of the 1980s, which is saying a great deal, for the flugelhornist is among the most consistent of all jazz musicians. The two ballads that open and close this set ("Blame It on My Youth" and "I'll Be Around") give Farmer an opportunity to display his warm and attractive sound (with fine support from ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
2	Farmer's Market (1953) more music like this by Art Farmer In 1956, trumpeter Art Farmer was teamed with tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley and pianist Horace Silver in of the most vital and important modern jazz groups of the seminal hard bop era. But it was Farmer here who was emerging as a leader, with Mobley tagging along on this excellent date. Not to say that Mobley was a slouch, and indeed far from it ... see all copies from $6.04! new only from $6.04!
3	Portrait of Art Farmer (1958) more music like this by Art Farmer This CD reissue (which adds a version of "The Folks Who Live on the Hill" to the original LP program) is an excellent showcase for trumpeter Art Farmer in the 1950s. Farmer is showcased with a quartet that also includes pianist Hank Jones, bassist Addison Farmer and drummer Roy Haynes. The repertoire alternates veteran standards with lesser-known ... see all copies from $10.71! new only from $10.71!
4	When Farmer Met Gryce (1954) more music like this by Art Farmer When Farmer Met Gryce features trumpeter Art Farmer, altoist Gigi Gryce and two rhythm sections with either Horace Silver or Freddie Redd on piano, Percy Heath or Addison Farmer on bass, and Kenny Clarke or Art Taylor on drums. The early hard bop music is highlighted by "Social Call" (one of Gryce's best-known compositions), "Capri," "A Night at ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
5	The Best of Chess Jazz (1950) more music like this by Various Artists This double LP has music from 18 different groups (mostly from 1956-66) and puts the focus on Chess's much-overlooked jazz catalog. Best-known as one of the leading Chicago blues labels, Chess (as shown on this two-fer) recorded many interesting jazz dates ranging from James Moody and Gene Ammons to Benny Goodman, the Jazztet, Ramsey Lewis and ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $18.00!
6	Something to Live for: The Music of Billy Strayhorn (1987) more music like this by Art Farmer This very logical set is a real gem. The lyrical flügelhornist Art Farmer and his quintet (which consists of tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan, pianist James Williams, bassist Rufus Reid, and drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith) interpret seven of Billy Strayhorn's compositions. Highlights include "Isfahan," "Johnny Come Lately," "Raincheck," and the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
7	Perception (1961) more music like this by Art Farmer Quartet This 1964 release of a 1961 date with pianist Harold Mabern, drummer Ron McCurdy, and bassist Tommy Williams is a breezy affair, a stark contrast to the hard bop that was still pervasive at that time. Farmer had fully developed his sensual and lyrical style by this time, and was making records with Benny Golson when he led this date. The set ... see all copies from $32.06! new only from $32.06!
8	Big Blues (1978) more music like this by Art Farmer with Jim Hall Flugelhornist Art Farmer and guitarist Jim Hall had had a regular group for a time in the mid-'60s but (except for one occasion) had not played together since, until this 1978 LP. This is an unusual effort for CTI in that it is a quintet set without added horns, strings or keyboards. Farmer and Hall are joined by vibraphonist Mike Mainieri, ... see all copies from $5.36! new only from $25.73!
9	The Summer Knows (1976) more music like this by Art Farmer This relaxed session features fluegelhornist Art Farmer in a quartet with pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Billy Higgins. The material (which includes such tunes as "Alfie," "When I Fall in Love" and "I Should Care") is given lyrical treatment by these masterful players on this ballad-dominated date. Scott Yanow, All Music ... see all copies from $12.48! new only from $31.79!
10	In Europe (1998) more music like this by Art Farmer This 1970 club date in a Munich club by Art Farmer wasn't released until 1998, but it is by no means a collection of outtakes; it was in the possession of the club owner as his own private treasure. The flügelhornist (though he is inexplicably credited playing trumpet on the CD) is joined by his pianist of choice while in Europe, Fritz Pauer, ... see all copies from $25.90! new only from $25.90!
11 view cover	Something You Got (1977) more music like this by Art Farmer The meeting of trumpeter Art Farmer and reed king Yusef Lateef with pianist/arranger David Matthews fronting a big band is a momentous one. The relaxed pace of the set, with its reliance on easy jazz-funk (the title track) and extended funky workouts with stunning hard bop charts by Matthews on "Flute Song," makes for one of the most provocative ... see all copies from $15.00!
12 view cover	Listen to Art Farmer and the Orchestra (1962) more music like this by Art Farmer This delightful CD features Art Farmer with a large orchestra not long after he switched from trumpet to flugelhorn. Oliver Nelson's arrangements provide great backdrops for the leader, as do the mix of dependable studio musicians and outstanding jazzmen assembled for the three sessions, including Tommy Flanagan, Phil Woods, Clark Terry, and Jim ... see all copies from $20.00!
13 view cover	Meet the Jazztet (1960) more music like this by Art Farmer with Benny Golson Although this CD has the same program as the original LP, it gets the highest rating because it is a hard bop classic. Not only does it include superior solos from trumpeter Art Farmer, trombonist Curtis Fuller, tenor saxophonist Benny Golson, and pianist McCoy Tyner (who was making his recording debut) along with fine backup from bassist Addison ... see all copies from $14.00!
14 view cover	Early Art (1954) more music like this by Art Farmer Two of trumpeter Art Farmer's earlier sessions as a leader are reissued on this CD in the OJC series. Farmer teams up with an all-star quintet (which includes tenor-saxophonist Sonny Rollins, pianist Horace Silver, bassist Percy Heath and drummer Kenny Clarke) for four songs and dominates a quartet (with pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Addison ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
15 view cover	Yesterday's Thoughts (1976) more music like this by Art Farmer With Art Farmer's phenomenal output of recordings as a leader during his long career, it isn't surprising to run across obscure gems such as this pair of 1975 studio sessions recorded in New York for release in Japan by Eastwind. Joined by frequent collaborator Cedar Walton on piano, as well as bassist Sam Jones and drummer Billy Higgins, the ... see all copies from $13.94! new only from $13.94!
16 view cover	Modern Art (1958) more music like this by Art Farmer For this CD reissue from over a year before the Jazztet were formed, trumpeter Art Farmer teams up with his future co-leader, tenor saxophonist Benny Golson. With a strong rhythm section consisting of pianist Bill Evans, bassist Addison Farmer, and drummer Dave Bailey, Farmer and Golson perform two of their originals and such songs as "Darn That ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
17 view cover	Live at Stanford Jazz Workshop (1997) more music like this by Art Farmer Art Farmer (on his flumpet, a compromise between a trumpet and a flugelhorn) swings in creative fashion on a live set with veteran tenor Harold Land, pianist Bill Bell, bassist Rufus Reid and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath. The quintet performs a pair of Thelonious Monk tunes, a few ballads, Land's "Rapture" and "Straight No Chaser." There are ... see all copies from $8.99!
18 view cover	Art Farmer and the Jazz Giants (1998) more music like this by Art Farmer see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
19 view cover	On the Road (1976) more music like this by Art Farmer This CD reissue of a Contemporary set from 1976 features a logical but only one-time collaboration between flügelhornist Art Farmer and altoist Art Pepper. With pianist Hampton Hawes, bassist Ray Brown, and either Steve Ellington or Shelly Manne on drums completing the quintet, the five standards and Hawes' original "Downwind" were certainly in ... see all copies from $17.79! new only from $17.79!
20 view cover	Gentle Eyes (1972) more music like this by Art Farmer Flugelhornist Art Farmer has recorded very few albums through the years that are not worth getting, but this sleepy affair with a European string section is unremittingly dull. Farmer sticks to ballads including "Didn't We," "We've Only Just Begun" and "God Bless the Child," and the arrangements for the 15 strings, five horns and rhythm section ... see all copies from $16.46!
21 view cover	Central Avenue Reunion (1989) more music like this by Art Farmer with Frank Morgan Three of the five musicians on this quintet date (flügelhornist Art Farmer, altoist Frank Morgan, and pianist Lou Levy) had played on Central Avenue in Los Angeles of the late '40s. Not all of the eight songs that they perform with bassist Eric Von Essen and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath are from the era ("Blue Minor" and "Cool Struttin'" were ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
22 view cover	Lush Life: The Billy Strayhorn Songbook (1950) more music like this by Various Artists As an informal soundtrack for his revealing biography of Billy Strayhorn, Lush Life, David Hajdu selected and annotated the tracks for this rambling dig through the PolyGram archives. In doing so, Hajdu ranges far afield in date and idiom, yet the overall impression is amazingly consistent Strayhorn as an elegant yet haunted musical figure whose ... see all copies from $7.30!
23 view cover	Art Farmer in Concert (1984) more music like this by Art Farmer This informal and swinging set has the feel of a jam session. Flugelhornist Art Farmer teams up with trombonist Slide Hampton, pianist Jim McNeely, bassist Ron McClure and drummer Adam Nussbaum on four bop standards. Farmer takes "Darn That Dream" as a feature and the quintet sounds quite at home stretching out on long versions of "Half Nelson," ... see all copies from $42.99! new only from $42.99!
24 view cover	To Duke with Love (1975) more music like this by Art Farmer Recorded less than a year after Duke Ellington's death, this Inner City LP (originally cut for the Japanese East Wind label) features flugelhornist Art Farmer performing five Ellington pieces along with Billy Strayhorn's "Lush Life." With impeccable support by pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Billy Higgins, Farmer sounds melodic ... see all copies from $13.94! new only from $13.94!
25 view cover	Maiden Voyage (1983) more music like this by Art Farmer This lesser-known set, released by several Japanese labels including a 1991 CD issue by Denon, features flugelhornist Art Farmer with pianist Masahiko Satoh (doubling on electric piano), bassist Ron Carter, drummer Jack DeJohnette and a 14-piece string section arranged and conducted by Satoh. Despite its initial release in Japan, the music was ... see all copies from $32.85! new only from $33.19!
