About

From Wikipedia: Modern Art is an album by trumpeter Art Farmer featuring performances recorded in 1958 and originally released on the United Artists label. Reception The 1958 DownBeat review gave the album a maximum five star. The AllMusic review stated: "Modern Art is the prelude recording for Art Farmer prior to his partnership in the Jazztet with Benny Golson, and also foreshadows the classy, tasteful inventiveness that group brought to the modern jazz world two years after this 1958 session... the Farmer-Golson combine proved to be a important pairing beyond their initial partnership, with the seeds of that forest flower heard and enjoyed here". The Penguin Guide to Jazz described it as "one of Farmer's most successful records of the period", praising the contributions of pianist Bill Evans in particular. Personnel Art Farmer – trumpet Benny Golson – tenor saxophone Bill Evans – piano Addison Farmer – bass Dave Bailey – drums .
