Art Farmer • Crawl Space

 

Review by Scott Yanow
Some of the finer CTI recordings of the late '70s were those led by flugelhornist Art Farmer. Although the emphasis was generally on obscure material (in this case Farmer plays one original, two songs by Dave Grusin and one piece by pianist Fritz Pauer) and often featured musicians who did not normally play together, the results were generally quite rewarding. For this CTI LP (long out-of-print), the focus is almost entirely on Farmer who is joined by keyboardist Grusin, guitarist Eric Gale, flutist Jeremy Steig, either Will Lee or George Mraz on bass and drummer Steve Gadd. The moody music holds one's interest throughout.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Algunas de las mejores grabaciones de CTI de finales de los 70 fueron las dirigidas por el flugelhornista Art Farmer. Aunque el énfasis se ponía generalmente en material oscuro (en este caso Farmer toca un original, dos canciones de Dave Grusin y una pieza del pianista Fritz Pauer) y a menudo presentaba a músicos que normalmente no tocaban juntos, los resultados eran generalmente bastante gratificantes. En este LP de CTI (agotado desde hace tiempo), la atención se centra casi por completo en Farmer, al que acompañan el teclista Grusin, el guitarrista Eric Gale, el flautista Jeremy Steig, Will Lee o George Mraz al bajo y el batería Steve Gadd. La música, de carácter melancólico, mantiene el interés en todo momento.
