Art Farmer, ‘Brass Shout/Aztec Suite’

Check out these re-mastered albums originally created with Big Brass sections and full orchestras in 1959. On Brass Shout an outstanding version of APRIL IN PARIS is just one of the surprises presented. On Aztec Suite, along with some multi-faceted exoticism, you can dig the Latin rhythms in HEAT WAVE and DRUME NEGRITA. A great release for Art Farmer fans!

Kenny Dorham, ‘Afro-Cuban’

Wow, this CD is awesome. Kenny is one cat everyone should listen to. Not only does he play beautifully on this one, the charts are just stellar. Give it a listen!
