A very interesting trumpetist, Art Farmer also played a number of "exotic" instruments (the flugelhorn he helped popularize, and his own funny flumpet).
His career spans five decades, with a constant and impressive number of records.

Arthur Stewart "Art" Farmer (August 21, 1928 – October 4, 1999) was an American jazz trumpeter and flugelhorn player. He also played flumpet, a trumpet–flugelhorn combination specially designed for him. He and his identical twin brother, double bassist Addison Farmer, started playing professionally while still at high school.
