The Art Farmer Quartet With Jim Hall • From Sweden With Love

Originally released in 1964.
Art Farmer (1928–99) first visited Sweden in 1953, as a member of the Lionel Hampton Big Band, in a trumpet section where he shared solo duties with the legendary Clifford Brown (1930–56). Farmer and Brown also made a small group session while in Stockholm. Later on, Farmer settled for lengths of time in Europe, where he was a very much in demand as a soloist and studio musician. (He was famous as a terrific sight-reader of music). He also toured with Gerry Mulligan (1927–96) and others.

One of the highlights of the jazz year of 1964 was the visit to Sweden by Farmer’s quartet with guitarist Jim Hall. This album presents their studio recordings made in Stockholm, many with selected Swedish tunes.

Art Farmer (1928-99) visitó Suecia por primera vez en 1953, como miembro de la Lionel Hampton Big Band, en una sección de trompetas en la que compartía tareas de solista con el legendario Clifford Brown (1930-56). Farmer y Brown también realizaron una pequeña sesión de grupo durante su estancia en Estocolmo. Más tarde, Farmer se instaló durante mucho tiempo en Europa, donde era muy solicitado como solista y músico de estudio. (Era famoso por ser un excelente lector de música a primera vista). También realizó giras con Gerry Mulligan (1927-96) y otros.

Uno de los momentos más destacados del año jazzístico de 1964 fue la visita a Suecia del cuarteto de Farmer con el guitarrista Jim Hall. Este álbum presenta sus grabaciones de estudio realizadas en Estocolmo, muchas de ellas con melodías suecas seleccionadas.
