Benny Golson and Art Farmer - when these two got together they called it a Summit Meeting.


Two of the Jazz greats this weekend, live onstage at the 1960 Newport Jazz Festival - Trumpeter Art Farmer and Alto Sax Benny Golson and their Jazztet consisting of Lex Humphries on drums, Addison Farmer on Bass, Duke Pearson and Piano and Bernard McKinney on Trombone. Recorded on June 30, 1960 for The Voice Of America.

A beautiful 45 minute set - but don't take my word for it.
