The record

Art Farmer's warm, lyrical trumpet slots beautifully into the piano-less format, trading lines with that airy baritone in the loose, contrapuntal style that made this quartet concept a small-group landmark. A relaxed, melodic date that shows the leader easing into a gentler groove with Crow and Bailey holding the pulse.
