The Jazztet was an outstanding sextet co-led by Art Farmer and Benny Golson, friends and colleagues for many years before the ensemble made its debut in 1959. These two musicians were not only on the same wave length in their respect and desire for strong, memorable melodies and a solid, swinging foundation, they also complemented each other beautifully as soloists. Golson was the main composer and arranger contributing originals that have become standards in the jazz repertoire such as “I Remember Clifford” and “Killer Joe.” Farmer was represented in the band’s book with his “Farmer’s Market” and “Mox Nix.”
