The Art Farmer Quintet Plays the Great Jazz Hits

Reception

Scott Yanow of Allmusic states, "The quintet's concise interpretations (no performance is over six minutes) are melodic without being overly predictable. As usual Farmer's lyricism by itself is a good reason to search for this underrated album".
