Showing the Discogs bio

American jazz trumpeter and flugelhorn player (born August 21, 1928, Council Bluffs, Iowa, USA; died October 4, 1999, New York City, New York, USA).
Formed association with saxophonist/composer Gigi Gryce in the mid-1950s, later co-founded The Jazztet with Benny Golson after brief period with Horace Silver. Farmer performed in the ORF Big Band from 1971 until 1977. Late in his career, he switched to the custom designed flumpet exclusively, which was built for him to draw qualities of both trumpet and flugelhorn. Twin brother of bassist Addison Farmer (died 1963).
