A trumpet journey through the hard bop tradition
Art Farmer's elegant tone portrays the lyricism of jazz.
"On the Road," released in 1976, is captivating thanks to the warm sound of Farmer's flugelhorn. From ballads to up-tempo pieces, Farmer showcases a diverse repertoire, highlighting the richness of his expressiveness in each piece. The exquisite interplay with the accompanists is also a highlight, making this a work that simultaneously captures the intimacy and sophistication of jazz.
