Another Git Together is an album by the Jazztet, led by trumpeter Art Farmer and saxophonist Benny Golson. It features performances recorded in 1962 and originally released on the Mercury label. It was the band's last recording for 20 years.
Background
The personnel for this album was the same as for the Jazztet's previous recording for Mercury.
Music and recording
"Space Station" is a rapid 24-bar composition by trombonist Moncur. "Domino" is a waltz; "Another Git Together" is a blues. Golson's "Along Came Betty" is faster than its original 1958 version. "This Nearly Was Mine" is from South Pacific and is another waltz, but has additional written material towards the end. This is the first recording of "Reggie", a tribute to composer Golson's second son; it has a "30-bar chorus" and "is a swinging conclusion to the album".
