Two of the most respected artists in jazz, bassist Ron Carter and trumpet and flugelhorn player Art Farmer, appeared on stage together for the first time in 1990 during a show at New York's prestigious jazz venue Sweet Basil, and a camera and sound crew was on hand to capture this historic event for the ages. With drummer Billy Higgins and pianist Cedar Walton rounding out the ensemble, Ron Carter and Art Farmer: Live at Sweet Basil features this stellar quartet performing "It's About Time," "When Love Is New," "Shortcomings," "My Funny Valentine," and more.
