In Vienna, in 1995, Austrian saxophonist Hubert Waldner videotaped Art Farmer warming up and recording (overdub) for Waldner’s composition “Big Trees.” Waldner’s ensemble is called Hypersax. Note that Farmer is playing the flumpet. You can hear his solo in the video soundtrack at 7:40.
Farmer had contributed to the Hypersax album Texan Cats in 1985.
We have received some new and fascinating information on Art Farmer’s flumpets from the David G. Monette Corporation where the instruments were designed. Please see the instruments section of this website.
