Art Farmer - Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting Jazz Podcast

This week's episode is about the music of trumpeter and flugelhorn player Art Farmer.  At a time when nine out of ten trumpeters were trying to sound like Dizzy Gillespie or Miles Davis, Farmer blazed his own path, and developed a soft, thoughtful, beautifully melodic style with a keen sensitivity for dynamic and timbral range. Please forgive the fairly minimal commentary for this episode, I'm fighting a sore throat/cough and so kept things brief
