Big Blues

This 180-gram vinyl LP is a gem. In the mid-'60s, flugelhornist Art Farmer and guitarist Jim Hall had a regular group. After a long break, they reunited in 1978 for this LP. It's a unique CTI release - a quintet without extra horns, strings, or keyboards. Farmer and Hall team up with vibraphonist Mike Mainieri, bassist Michael Moore, and drummer Steve Gadd. They perform two standards, the title track, and a jazz - adapted Ravel piece. With their complementary lyrical, harmonically - advanced, and thoughtful improvisation styles, this LP is a huge success.

To enjoy this 180 - gram vinyl LP, first, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the LP on the turntable and set the tonearm at the start of the record. Sit back and let the amazing music of Art Farmer, Jim Hall, and the rest of the group wash over you. When you're done, handle the LP carefully by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original sleeve. For the best sound quality, consider using a high - quality cartridge and stylus. And don't forget to clean your LP regularly with a proper record cleaning brush. Enjoy this wonderful piece of jazz history!
