For me one of the most typical hard bop albums, but as people are different I couldn´t listen to this or any music in the morning, it´s in the small hours I would eventually spin stuff like this. 
 

Art Farmer was less known to me until the mid 70´s when he actually lived in Vienna and I attended as many shows as possible, to learn stuff from the experienced players. But my real great love is Jackie McLean here. 

And of course, it wouldn´t be me if I wouldn´t say that  this the nicest cover photos of all of them old BN records.

I think I remember this still have the first guitarist they had. 
Strange but I sometimes compare that dense stuff of the guitar here with some of the sounds of Prime Time. 
I am not necessarly an organ fan, but listen sometimes to one of the BN Jimmy Smith albums, but more those like this one or most of all the two volumes of "Date with Jimmy Smith". But I need to hear it only sometimes and the only other organ player I really listen to was of course Larry Young. 

There were dozens of post Smith organ players on the BN cataloge in the late 50´s 60´, but I don´t listen to it, since my urge to hear organ is pleased by those Jimmy Smith and Larry Young albums. Smith is organ in the Bird tradition, and Young is organ in the Trane tradition.....

I am not awake late at night and I am awake in the early hours of the morning so I play music at different hours than you do.

Right now:

Eliane Elias with Bob Brookmeyer and the Danish Radio Jazz Orchestra “Impulsive! – Play the Music of Eliane Elias” Stunt Records cd

Playing this as loud as I can . . . rewarding sound.
