The record
Farmer's flugelhorn tone stays warm and unhurried against Harold Mabern's early, blues-inflected comping on this Chess date from the short-lived jazz venture's run. Roy McCurdy and Tommy Williams keep it loose, a quartet still finding its shape before Farmer's more celebrated later pairings.
