Reissue with DSD remastering. A pretty sweet 70s set from Art Farmer – ostensibly a tribute to Duke Ellington, but really more of a gently soulful session in the mode of Art's best work of the decade! The group is the Cedar Walton trio with Walton on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums – all matching Art's lyrical work beautifully, in a soulfully swinging way that transforms familiar Ellington numbers into new vehicles for creative expression. Farmer's at the height of his powers, and tracks include "Love You Madly", "Lush Life", "In A Sentimental Mood", and "The Star Crossed Lovers". Personnel: Art Farmer - flugelhorn Cedar Walton - piano Sam Jones - bass Billy Higgins - drums tracklist: 01 - In A Sentimental Mood 02 - It Don't Mean A Thing 03 - The Star Crossed Lovers 04 - The Brown Skin Gal In The Calico Gown 05 - Lush Life 06 - Love You Madly
