Description: Here And Now + Another Git Together + The Jazztet & John Lewis (3 Lps On 2 Cds) Art Farmer-Benny Golson Jazztet Featuring: Art Farmer (tp, flh), Grachan Moncur III, Tom McIntosh (tb), Benny Golson (ts), Harold Mabern, Cedar Walton (p), Herbie Lewis, Tommy Williams (b), Roy McCurdy, Albert “Tootie” Heath (d), John Lewis (arr) REFERENCE: FSRCD 755_2 Art Farmer-Benny Golson Jazztet was a talent-studded little band, among the finest groups of its time (1959-1962), able and willing to try anything—notice the sextet’s exuberant romping on these two albums “Here and Now,” and “Another Git Together”—recorded in 1962. They feature only the co-leaders of the original band, but the replacements—trombonist Grachan Moncur III and a Harold Mabern Herbie Lewis—Roy McCurdy rhythm section—maintained the pungent blend of zest, relaxation, control and creativity that characterised the Jazztet at its best. Crucial to this were Golson’s beautifully crafted arrangements. Making deft use of the textures and colours supplied by the three-horn front line, they provided structure and stimulation in equal measure. The players responded brilliantly, with Farmer exceptional, echoing Rex Stewart’s affecting horn on Ellington’s Rue Prevail and turning in some luminous, lyrical flugelhorn on Domino. Golson’s tenor had a more assertive edge than before, notably on Station and Git Together, offering an effective contrast to the more reflective Farmer. And Moncur’s burry warmth and direct approach made for further variety in a swinging, thoroughly satisfying group. “The Jazztet and John Lewis,” was recorded earlier with a previous Jazztet lineup which, with the two leaders, included Tom McIntosh, trombone, Cedar Walton, piano, Thomas Williams, bass, and Albert Heath. John Lewis arranged his own compositions, mostly familiar Lewis pieces, and conducted the band in a reflective collection distinguished by consistently thoughtful work by Farmer and Golson.
