It is also the only studio recording Farmer made with Joe Henderson. Creed Taylor produced; Mike Mainieri served as associate producer and wrote all the arrangements. The five tracks were drawn entirely from outside sources, which was standard CTI practice by the late 1970s and reflected Mainieri's particular sensibility in repertoire selection. Clare Fischer's \"Dulzura\" — which had debuted on Fischer's 1965 album \u003cem\u003eManteca!\u003c\/em\u003e and received very little coverage before this — opens the record. The Bee Gees' \"Stop (Think Again)\" came from their 1979 post-\u003cem\u003eSaturday Night Fever\u003c\/em\u003e album \u003cem\u003eSpirits Having Flown\u003c\/em\u003e, an unusual choice that works in the hands of Mainieri's arrangements. Joe Zawinul's \"Young and Fine\" had appeared the previous year on Weather Report's \u003cem\u003eMr. Gone\u003c\/em\u003e, with Steve Gadd also on drums for that session. Don Grolnick's \"Lotus Blossom\" and Mainieri's own \"Blue Montreux\" close the record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rhythm section — Gadd, Eddie Gomez on acoustic bass, Will Lee on electric bass, Sammy Figueroa on percussion, guitarists David Spinozza and John Tropea, and keyboard trio of Grolnick, Warren Bernhardt and Fred Hersch — was the core New York session ensemble of its moment. Synthesizer programming was handled by Suzanne Ciani, who contributed to all three of CTI's 1979 productions. Neil Dorfsman engineered; Rudy Van Gelder mastered. CTI ran out of funding before the album could be issued in the US, so this 1979 Japanese pressing on King Record Co. Ltd. was the album's only available form until May 1982.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CTI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43375692906555,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3203\/3339\/files\/IMG_6509.jpg?v=1775127474","url":"https:\/\/lushliferecords.com.au\/products\/art-farmer-with-joe-henderson-yama-1979-japanese-cti-vinyl-lp","provider":"Lush Life Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
