Listen to Art Farmer and the Orchestra, recorded in 1962 and released the following year on Mercury, stands as one of trumpeter/flugelhornist Art Farmer's most ambitious statements as a leader.

The album places Farmer at the forefront of a large ensemble arranged and conducted by Oliver Nelson, whose writing gives the project a striking blend of sophistication and swing. The personnel bridges New York's hard-bop scene with leading studio and jazz musicians, with Farmer featured as the principal solo voice against Nelson's full complement of brass, reeds, and rhythm. Guitarists Jim Hall and Barry Galbraith, bassist George Duvivier, drummer Charlie Persip, and pianist Tommy Flanagan are among the players supporting Farmer.

They appear alongside an expanded orchestral roster of trumpets, trombones, French horns, reeds, and percussion. Nelson's orchestrations give him space to showcase his lyricism and poised tone, balancing tightly-arranged ensemble passages with luminous solo statements. This program draws on beloved standards — including "Street of Dreams," and "Naima" — and the orchestral setting underscores why Farmer was regarded as one of the era's most elegant and expressive horn players.

The Verve Vault Series is an exclusive vinyl reissue collection that brings the golden era of jazz back to life. Curated by Verve Label Group and UMe, this series offers audiophile-grade pressings of iconic jazz albums. Each release is meticulously mastered from original analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal in Germany.
