| One of Art Farmer's hippest albums of the 70s -- thanks to some incredible work from the rhythm section! The tracks here are all quite skittish and grooving -- not really funky, but flowing with a wonderful sort of energy -- and bouncing along on the bottom with more drive than you might expect from Farmer! Art's working here with a group that features Jimmy Heath in the lead on tenor, soprano sax, and flute -- but the real stars of the set are almost the core trio of Cedar Walton on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums -- who are augmented by Mtume and Warren Smith on percussion, both of whom give the record it's amazing sound. Even familiar numbers sound nicely fresh, and Heath himself is at one of his hippest points here -- really opening up with lines that we would have never expected a decade before. Titles include include "Cascavelo", "Blue Bossa", "Some Other Time", and "Homecoming". CD features 2 more bonus tracks from a German live date in 1972 -- the titles "Cascavelo" and "Let's Boom Chitty Boom" -- played by a quartet on the first number, and a larger group on the last. |
