While he’s well-known for the flugelhorn, for many years he achieved comparable lyricism as a trumpeter, as these sides reveal. With a rhythm section that includes his twin brother, the late Addison Farmer, on bass, as well as pianist Hank Jones and drummer Roy Haynes, he is heard here in three originals (two are blues), and five other appropriate vehicles such as Benny Golson’s \"Stablemates.\" Farmer felt that this was the best album he had made at that stage in his career.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recordstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49977203425522,"sku":"7250501","price":10.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/1621\/5794\/files\/da8a30f5-5eb1-4bda-8d67-948a646d13cf.png?v=1787648809","url":"https:\/\/recordstero.shop\/products\/portrait-of-art-farmer-180g-vinyl-lp","provider":"recordstero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
