Our Take

Hold onto your hats, folks, because we're about to take a trip down memory lane with the one and only Art Farmer and his collection of classic albums from 1953-55. This trumpet virtuoso is known for his smooth, distinctive tone, and on "Art of Farmer," he doesn't disappoint.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to a time when jazz was king and cool was the name of the game. Farmer's slick phrasing and impeccable technique shine through on tracks like "Soft Shoe" and "Mox Nix," making it clear why he's considered one of the greats.

But it's not just Farmer's impressive chops that make this album a standout. The arrangements are tight, the solos are on point, and the overall vibe is just downright infectious. It's the kind of music that makes you want to pour yourself a stiff drink, kick back, and let the sweet sounds wash over you.

Sure, some may argue that Farmer's work from this era doesn't have the same edge as his later recordings, but that's missing the point entirely. This album isn't about pushing boundaries or breaking new ground – it's about celebrating the pure joy of music, and on that front, Farmer delivers in spades.

So if you're in the mood for some classic jazz that's guaranteed to put a smile on your face, do yourself a favour and give "Art of Farmer" a spin. You won't regret it.
