Art Farmer Biography by Scott Yanow
Largely overlooked during his formative years, Art Farmer's consistently inventive playing was more greatly appreciated as he continued to develop. Along with Clark Terry, Farmer helped to popularize the flügelhorn among brass players. His lyricism gave his bop-oriented style its own personality. Farmer studied piano, violin, and tuba before settling on trumpet. He worked in Los Angeles from 1945 on, performing regularly on Central Avenue and spending time in the bands of Johnny Otis, Jay McShann, Roy Porter, Benny Carter, and Gerald Wilson among others; some of the groups also included his twin brother, bassist Addison Farmer (1928-1963). After playing with Wardell Gray (1951-1952) and touring Europe with Lionel Hampton's big band (1953), Farmer moved to New York and worked with Gigi Gryce (1954-1956), Horace Silver's Quintet (1956-1958), and the Gerry Mulligan Quartet (1958-1959). Farmer, who made many recordings in the latter half of the '50s (including with Quincy Jones and George Russell and on some jam-session dates for Prestige) co-led the Jazztet with Benny Golson (1959-1962) and then had a group with Jim Hall (1962-1964). He moved to Vienna in 1968 where he joined the Austrian Radio Orchestra, worked with the Kenny Clarke-Francy Boland Big Band and toured with his own units. Starting in the '80s, Farmer visited the U.S. more often and remained greatly in demand up until his death on October 4, 1999. Farmer recorded many sessions as a leader throughout the years for Prestige, Contemporary, United Artists, Argo, Mercury, Atlantic, Columbia, CTI, Soul Note, Optimism, Concord, Enja, and Sweet Basil.

Benny Golson Biography by Scott Yanow
Benny Golson is a talented composer/arranger whose tenor playing has continued to evolve with time. After attending Howard University (1947-1950) he worked in Philadelphia with Bull Moose Jackson's R&B band (1951) at a time when it included one of his writing influences, Tadd Dameron on piano. Golson played with Dameron for a period in 1953, followed by stints with Lionel Hampton (1953-1954), and Johnny Hodges and Earl Bostic (1954-1956). He came to prominence while with Dizzy Gillespie's globetrotting big band (1956-1958), as much for his writing as for his tenor playing (the latter was most influenced by Don Byas and Lucky Thompson). Golson wrote such standards as "I Remember Clifford" (for the late Clifford Brown), "Killer Joe," "Stablemates," "Whisper Not," "Along Came Betty," and "Blues March" during 1956-1960. His stay with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers (1958-1959) was significant, and during 1959-1962 he co-led the Jazztet with Art Farmer. From that point on Golson gradually drifted away from jazz and concentrated more on working in the studios and with orchestras including spending a couple of years in Europe (1964-1966). When Golson returned to active playing in 1977, his tone had hardened and sounded much closer to Archie Shepp than to Don Byas. Other than an unfortunate commercial effort for Columbia in 1977, Golson has recorded consistently rewarding albums (many for Japanese labels) since that time including a reunion with Art Farmer and Curtis Fuller in a new Jazztet. Through the years he has recorded as a leader for Contemporary, Riverside, United Artists, New Jazz, Argo, Mercury, and Dreyfus among others. Returning once again to the spirit of the original Jazztet, Golson released New Time, New 'Tet on Concord Records in 2009.

Biografía de Art Farmer por Scott Yanow
En gran parte ignorado durante sus años de formación, la interpretación consistentemente inventiva de Art Farmer fue más apreciada a medida que continuaba desarrollándose. Junto con Clark Terry, Farmer ayudó a popularizar el flügelhorn entre los músicos de metal. Su lirismo le dio a su estilo orientado al bop su propia personalidad. Farmer estudió piano, violín y tuba antes de decidirse por la trompeta. Trabajó en Los Ángeles a partir de 1945, actuando regularmente en Central Avenue y pasando tiempo en las bandas de Johnny Otis, Jay McShann, Roy Porter, Benny Carter y Gerald Wilson, entre otros; algunos de los grupos también incluían a su hermano gemelo, el bajista Addison Farmer (1928-1963). Después de tocar con Wardell Gray (1951-1952) y recorrer Europa con la big band de Lionel Hampton (1953), Farmer se mudó a Nueva York y trabajó con Gigi Gryce (1954-1956), el Quinteto de Horace Silver (1956-1958) y el Cuarteto Gerry Mulligan (1958-1959). Farmer, que realizó muchas grabaciones en la segunda mitad de los años 50 (incluso con Quincy Jones y George Russell y en algunas sesiones improvisadas para Prestige) codirigió el Jazztet con Benny Golson (1959-1962) y luego formó un grupo con Jim Hall (1962-1964). Se mudó a Viena en 1968, donde se unió a la Orquesta de la Radio Austriaca, trabajó con la Big Band de Kenny Clarke-Francy Boland y realizó giras con sus propias unidades. A partir de los años 80, Farmer visitó los EE.UU. con más frecuencia y mantuvo una gran demanda hasta su muerte el 4 de octubre de 1999. Farmer grabó muchas sesiones como líder a lo largo de los años para Prestige, Contemporary, United Artists, Argo, Mercury, Atlantic, Columbia, CTI, Soul Note, Optimism, Concord, Enja y Sweet Basil.

Biografía de Benny Golson por Scott Yanow
Benny Golson es un talentoso compositor / arreglista cuya interpretación de tenor ha seguido evolucionando con el tiempo. Después de asistir a la Universidad de Howard (1947-1950) trabajó en Filadelfia con Bull Moose Jackson's R&B band (1951) en un momento en que incluía una de sus influencias de composición, Tadd Dameron al piano. Golson tocó con Dameron durante un período en 1953, seguido de temporadas con Lionel Hampton (1953-1954) y Johnny Hodges y Earl Bostic (1954-1956). Saltó a la fama mientras estaba con la big band trotamundos de Dizzy Gillespie (1956-1958), tanto por su composición como por su interpretación de tenor (este último estuvo más influenciado por Don Byas y Lucky Thompson). Golson escribió estándares como " I Remember Clifford "(para el difunto Clifford Brown)," Killer Joe"," Stablemates"," Whisper Not"," Along Came Betty "y" Blues March " durante 1956-1960. Su estancia con Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers (1958-1959) fue significativa, y durante 1959-1962 codirigió el Jazztet con Art Farmer. A partir de ese momento, Golson se alejó gradualmente del jazz y se concentró más en trabajar en los estudios y con orquestas, incluido pasar un par de años en Europa (1964-1966). Cuando Golson regresó a la actuación activa en 1977, su tono se había endurecido y sonaba mucho más cercano a Archie Shepp que a Don Byas. Aparte de un desafortunado esfuerzo comercial para Columbia en 1977, Golson ha grabado álbumes consistentemente gratificantes (muchos para sellos japoneses) desde entonces, incluida una reunión con Art Farmer y Curtis Fuller en un nuevo Jazztet. A lo largo de los años ha grabado como líder para Contemporary, Riverside, United Artists, New Jazz, Argo, Mercury y Dreyfus, entre otros. Volviendo una vez más al espíritu del Jazztet original, Golson lanzó New Time, New ' Tet con Concord Records en 2009.
