Joe Farrell (heard on tenor, soprano, and flute) did some of his finest playing while with drummer
Elvin Jones' trio during 1968-1969. Joined by bassist
Jimmy Garrison (in one of his first post-
Coltrane recordings),
Farrell really digs into group originals, obscurities, "For Heaven's Sake," and
Jimmy Heath's "Gingerbread Boy." With
Jones pushing him and
Garrison sounding quite advanced,
Farrell was consistently inspired to play at the peak of his creativity. ~ Scott Yanow
