Art Farmer Quintet - Mercy Mercy Mercy

Review by Pippa Moye

The Art Farmer Quintet's album, Mercy Mercy Mercy, is a delightful collection of jazz tunes that showcase the quintet's exceptional musical talent. The album features Art Farmer on trumpet, Jim Hall on guitar, Steve Swallow on bass, Pete La Roca on drums, and Benny Golson on tenor saxophone.

The album's title track, "Mercy Mercy Mercy," is a standout piece that highlights the quintet's ability to play with soulful intensity. Art Farmer's trumpet playing is particularly impressive, as he delivers a memorable solo that captures the essence of the song's bluesy vibe.

Other notable tracks on the album include "Mox Nix," a swinging piece that showcases Jim Hall's guitar skills, and "Stablemates," a lively tune that features Benny Golson's tenor saxophone.
