This group, formed in 1959, was co-led by
Benny Golson and
Art Farmer, with
McCoy Tyner on piano. It survived until 1962 in its first incarnation, then resurfaced in 1985 with
Farmer and
Golson once again at the helm. The group was famous for nicely structured, precise yet soulful pieces and a swinging style. Both
Golson and
Farmer played without excess, yet retained energy and impact. ~ Ron Wynn
