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 in high school. Art gained greater attention after the release of a recording of his composition "Farmer's Market" in 1952. He subsequently moved from Los Angeles to New York, where he performed and recorded with musicians such as
Horace Silver,
Sonny Rollins, and
Gigi Gryce and became known principally as a
bebop player.
