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. ~ Scott Yanow
