About
Art Farmer contributes two choruses on trumpet, the second of 3 solos on the recording. Taken at a brisk swing tempo of 242 BPM over the 32-bar AABA in F, the improvisation moves with confident, driving energy. Art Farmer follows with two trumpet choruses that match Jordan's energy, his playing marked by the precision and lyrical grace that characterized his entire career. Recorded for the album Cliff Craft in 1957, the performance captures Art Farmer at 28 to 29 years old. "Cliff Craft" is a hard bop composition by tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan, serving as the title track of his 1957 Blue Note album of the same name.
Art Farmer was 28 to 29 years old at the time.
