Art Farmer Plays Charlie Parker's "Red Cross"

[pimperlpom]

impossible to hear, I am deaf in my right ear.

[WAMEDJO]

It's probably not intentionnal, but It's funny the way Art Farmer takes a cheerful tune and make it sound very "compassé" -don't know how to translate it- ; but still interesting. That may be some definition of "cool jazz" : concentrated bop. Piano isn't loud enough though.

i hate art farter

[PaulBlichmann]

I like the interlude before the outhead. Does that come from one of Dizzy's famous takes? maybe Salt peanuts?

Very swinging and imaginative solo by Art Farmer. That he was able to express so many surprises within a conventional vocabulary and play with great energy without breaking a sweat is a testimony to his understated mastery

[tytaniumboxhead]

Rhythm-a-ning in the bass solo :-)!!!

[PaulBlichmann]

I heard a snippet of "Oleo"

WogBoyferrari, I am an oldtimer of 62, but IMO you are free to prefer your own version compared to Farmer. Be careful, though, I heard Farmer in person sounding off at breackneck speed like Fats Navarro. (Can you do that?) Best to you.

hold up boyferrari , unless you played with high schoolers in the Jazz band of America or an amazing All-State ensemble, you have an invalid opinion. Art Farmer is a renowned professional, who doesn't need your shit.

[WogBoyFerrari]

hehe i did this for my hsc 2 days ago. personalyl i liked my version much better. it was true be-bop the drums and rhythm were much more prominent. it had alot of life an energy to it. i dont think this is really punchy enuf tbh but tahts just my opinion

[tytaniumboxhead]

your opinion is wrong.

[KOKOYAMS]

SWEET!

[tompethic]

Art Farmer was truly outstanding in his field! (Sorry about the pun)(Wait a minute, no I'm not!)

[GombratoProductions]

i just learned to play this on sax... hearing the band with it really helps though

[tytaniumboxhead]

Billy always looks like he's in slow motion.Hes so chilled when hes playing.what a legend.this is great jazz.
