The Aztec Suite is an album by trumpeter Art Farmer featuring performances arranged by Chico O’Farrill recorded in 1959 and originally released on the United Artists label.[3]

Reception

The Allmusic review stated: “In spite of the assurances of the uncredited liner notes author who states that “since its introduction, it has become a jazz classic,” this suite sounds uneven and rather dated”.[1]
