Personnel

Drum kit collection of drums and other percussion instruments

A drum kit — also called a drum set, trap set, or simply drums — is a collection of drums and other percussion instruments, typically cymbals, which are set up on stands to be played by a single player, with drumsticks held in both hands, and the feet operating pedals that control the hi-hat cymbal and the beater for the bass drum. A drum kit consists of a mix of drums and idiophones – most significantly cymbals, but can also include the woodblock and cowbell. In the 2000s, some kits also include electronic instruments. Also, both hybrid and entirely electronic kits are used.

Bob Berg American musician

Robert Berg was an American jazz saxophonist originally from Brooklyn, New York City.

Tenor saxophone type of saxophone

The tenor saxophone is a medium-sized member of the saxophone family, a group of instruments invented by Adolphe Sax in the 1840s. The tenor and the alto are the two most commonly used saxophones. The tenor is pitched in the key of B♭ (while the Alto is pitched in the key of E♭), and written as a transposing instrument in the treble clef, sounding an octave and a major second lower than the written pitch. Modern tenor saxophones which have a high F♯ key have a range from A♭2 to E5 (concert) and are therefore pitched one octave below the soprano saxophone. People who play the tenor saxophone are known as "tenor saxophonists", "tenor sax players", or "saxophonists".

Art Farmer Quintet at Boomers is a live album by Art Farmer recorded in New York in 1976 and originally released on the Japanese East Wind label. A second volume of recordings was released in 2003 on the Test of Time label. This quintet also presages the later, great, 1980s quintet Art Farmer kept, in that it presents us the regal front line of Art Farmer together with Clifford Jordan, a pairing first recorded in the late fifties in Horace Silver's band, but then crystallized in several magnificent, and more feted, recordings in the 1980s – really a high-point in all of Farmer's remarkably consistent discography. But here we get to hear them together in the 1970s, too – and it is most edifying. They would go on to even more pristine heights together, refining their ensemble concept. Not that there's anything lacking in this lesser-known, but fabulous, document of one of jazz's truly great partnerships.
