This CD, The Time and the Place, is not the album of the same name released on Columbia Records dated February 8, 1967, with pianist Cedar Walton. That recording was a studio date with live audience sounds overdubbed. This is the actual live concert date, remixed from the three-track reel-to-reel master at New York City's Museum of Modern Art's outdoor "Jazz in the Garden" series, featuring pianist Albert Dailey on August 18, 1966, and presented in its entirely. Farmer plays flugelhorn exclusively, one of the first to do so. This concert also links his time leaving the U.S. for Europe, returning briefly, then moving permanently to Vienna, Austria.
Dave Berry's second album had his usual aggravatingly inconsistent mixture of corny pop ballads, good British Invasion rock-a-ballads, and surprisingly tough bluesy rockers. Speaking of corny pop ballads, they don't come much gushier than the vile "Mama," which did give him one of his three U.K. Top Five singles. Another of those Top Five singles, a cover of Bobby Goldsboro's "Little Things," is here too.
