Arthur Stewart "Art" Farmer was an American jazz trumpeter and flugelhorn player. Noted for his playing style, he created trumpet solos that relied heavily on lyricism and form. He became one of the most versatile improvisers of his generation. While elements of Farmer’s work were likened to the bebop of masters Dizzy Gillespie and Fats Navarro, Farmer abandoned bebop’s dramatic high notes and complexity to concentrate on pure melody. Giving his playing a warm timbre and a melodic approach to phrasing.

!! Farmer's Tropes
* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Had a twin brother named Addison Farmer, with whom they would acknowledge their uniform appearance with humour, such as [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/53cdfde160408ce5e43489d856a53d4e.jpg in this image]]

* GameBreakingInjury: Art initially left school to tour with a group led by Johnny Otis, but this would lasted for only four months, as his lip gave out while on tour. Performing for long periods for this job put great pressure on his technique, which was insufficiently developed to cope with such physical demands. His lip eventually became lacerated, and he could no longer play. Fortunately, he would get better and later play for Music/DizzyGillespie.

* {{Jazz}}: Art was a reputable trumpeter in the genre and even helped invent a new instrument in the process.

* ReclusiveArtist: He was described as mellow, relaxed and gentle, in the same vein of his horn playing.
