The Jazztet

With Jack Tracy

The Jazztet - Big City Sounds

Art Farmer-Benny Golson Jazztet

Since its inception in 1959, the Jazztet went straight up in critical acceptance and general popularity. In this, their second album, the entire personnel was reshuffled, and only the leaders remained: Art Farmer and Benny Golson.

None of the changes were for the worse, judging by the present evidence. Most of the group’s value lies in the virtues of its soloists, but their presentation in a skillfully planned setting—rather than in rambling ad lib excursions of arbitrary length—was an added plus factor of its success.
