When Art Farmer died in 1999 orbituaries wrote about his art: Art Farmer played "a sweetly lyrical tone and a melodic approach to phrasing, neither of which minimized his capacity to produce rhythmically swinging phrases" - and: "Farmer was in his way a true original. His phrasing was always distinctive, letting the beat run ahead of him rather in the manner of Billie Holiday's vocals". Could there be a greater praise? "The Guardian" observed: Farmer's determination to keep exploring forms of expression continued throughout his life. One comment on a concert given when Farmer was 67 was that "his style was continuing to evolve"; he "delivered several solos in which his characteristically flowing lines were interrupted by sudden, wide melodic leaps and disjunct rhythmic accents (...) Farmer's playing on slower tunes achieved a new level of emotional expression. All 16 tracks on this new album are dedicated to Art Farmer thus filling another gap in our "All that Jazz" Collection. They have been carefully remastered in 24 Bit High Definition.
