With Art Farmer's phenomenal output of recordings as a leader during his long career, it isn't surprising to run across obscure gems such as this pair of 1975 studio sessions recorded in New York for release in Japan by Eastwind.

Joined by frequent collaborator Cedar Walton on piano, as well as bassist Sam Jones and drummer Billy Higgins, the mellow flugelhornist excels on the ballads that make up the majority of the album. "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life" begins slowly, with the rhythm section slowly pushing the tempo, as if to push for an answer to the title of the song. "Namely You" is played as a brisk waltz, while the snappy approach to "Alone Together" finds the leader at the top of his game. A reworking of ex-partner Benny Golson's "Yesterday's Thoughts" is followed by the only up-tempo tune present, Walton's invigorating "Firm Roots." Both Jones and Higgins provide the solid support that they delivered on numerous dates throughout their respective careers. Don't expect to find this long-unavailable LP quickly or at a bargain price, but it is well worth the effort to acquire it.

70年代中期日本人在纽约搞得录音,发行在日本东风厂牌下,用了早期先进的DSD技术,听起来略有种纯数字化后不够有亲和力的疏离感,尤其是这里的曲子都选了日本人喜欢的抒情标题曲。不过演奏是无可挑剔,四位都是大师级的乐手,Art Farmer这时候的Fluegel号演奏已臻出神入化之境,特别推荐优美伤感的开场曲-“你的余生要怎么过?”。

相比他的其他专辑没那么出彩,带点灵魂味,够柔和。
