Tonight's post is by the Art Farmer Quartet with Jim Hall. This unique quartet performed together for two years (1962-1964) and recorded two studio albums and a live album. This take on Charlie Parker's classic Latin composition "My Little Suede Shoes" comes from their first studio album, "Interaction". The combination of flugelhorn and guitar is unconventional but works quite well. Can't say I really care for Walter Perkins rather ... unusual drum solo. But it's quite interesting at the very least.

Personnel:

  • Art Farmer - flugelhorn
  • Jim Hall - guitar
  • Steve Swallow - bass
  • Walter Perkins - drums
