Waltz For Ann
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Karl Ratzer assembled an impressive transatlantic session featuring legendary American trumpeter Art Farmer alongside Austrian musicians Fritz Pauer and others. Art Farmer was a master of the instrument—warm tone, sophisticated harmonic sensibility, the kind of musicianship that elevates any session. The music reflects post-bop sensibilities: elegant, thoughtfully arranged, with plenty of space for each musician. Compositions like 'Sageways' and 'For Martin' sit alongside standards like 'What's New,' all treated with intelligence and restraint. This is accessible jazz that values melody and interaction over technical display. The recording captures an intimate moment in Austrian jazz history, with players clearly listening and responding to one another. Given the specific personnel and likely limited original pressing, this remains a scarce and rewarding discovery.
