About the artist

Art Farmer & Bill Evans

ART FARMER: Art Farmer, the legendary jazz trumpeter, is not just a musician - he's a force of nature. With a career spanning over five decades, Farmer has established himself as one of the most innovative and influential figures in the world of jazz. Born in Iowa in 1928, Farmer began playing the trumpet at a young age and quickly made a name for himself as a virtuoso performer. His unique style, characterized by his warm tone and emotive phrasing, has earned him critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base around the world. Known for his collaborations with some of the biggest names in jazz, including Benny Golson and Quincy Jones, Farmer has always been at the forefront of musical innovation. His ability to blend traditional jazz with elements of bebop and cool jazz has set him apart from his peers and solidified his reputation as a true musical pioneer. BILL EVANS: Bill Evans, the enigmatic pianist and composer, is a true icon of the jazz world. With a career that spanned nearly four decades, Evans redefined the role of the piano in jazz music and created a sound that was uniquely his own. Born in New Jersey in 1929, Evans began playing the piano at a young age and quickly gained a reputation as a prodigious talent. His intricate harmonies, delicate touch, and inventive improvisational style have made him a favourite among jazz aficionados and musicians alike. Evans' collaborations with artists such as Miles Davis and Tony Bennett have solidified his status as a legendary figure in the world of jazz. His groundbreaking trio recordings, including "Sunday at the Village Vanguard" and "Waltz for Debby," are considered some of the greatest jazz albums of all time. Evans' tragic death in 1980 cut short a career that was still evolving, but his influence on the world of jazz continues to be felt to this day.
