The lineup brings together figures from New York’s hard bop scene alongside top-tier studio and jazz musicians; against the backdrop of a full ensemble of brass, woodwinds, and rhythm section led by Nelson, Farmer stands out as the leading solo voice. Guitarists Jim Hall and Barry Galbraith, bassist George Duvivier, drummer Charlie Pership, and pianist Tommy Flanagan are among the players supporting Farmer. They perform alongside an expanded orchestral lineup consisting of trumpets, trombones, French horns, woodwinds, and percussion. Nelson’s orchestration allows space for Farmer’s lyricism and mellow tone to shine, skillfully balancing meticulously crafted ensemble passages with brilliant solo performances. The program features beloved standards such as “Street of Dreams” and “Naima,” and the orchestral arrangement highlights why Farmer was considered one of the most elegant and expressive horn players of his era.\n\u003cpersonnel\u003e Art Farmer (flgh) Ray Copeland, Rolf Ericson, Bernie Glow, Ernie Royal, Paul Serrano, Clark Terry, Snooky Young (tp) Jimmy Cleveland, Urbie Green, Tommy Mitchell (tb) Paul Faulise, Tony Studd (b-tb) Ray Alonge, Jim Buffington, Bob Northern (French horn) Danny Bank, Ray Beckenstein, Phil Bodner, Walt Levinsky, Romeo Penque, Stan Webb, Phil Woods (reeds) Tommy Flanagan (p) Barry Galbraith, Jim Hall (g) George Duvivier (b) Charlie Persip (ds) Ray Barretto, Willie Rodriguez (perc) Oliver Nelson—arranger, conductor\u003c\/personnel\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52527366078753,"sku":"199957015059","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/199957015059.jpg?v=1775053635","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-ec\/products\/199957015059","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
