From the back cover: As loose and free and swinging as these performances sound, they are not "head" arrangements. Instead, Jimmy Heath sketched out some charts to preserve the character of the original number. But these are much more than just faithful renditions of timeless modern jazz standards. They are standards brought to new life, with just a touch of a new sound – Art Farmer's.
