5 out of 5 stars jazz guitar.......2004-10-20

Rather than get into specific apects of style, there was an overriding meaning when we beginning players would talk about 'jazz' guitar: Fast, clean, and complexly, seemingly unendingly, inventive. We loved it, but we couldn't completely 'get' it. As we became more adept ourselves, many still-admired players lost their 'jazz' status in that regard. We finally 'got' them. Tal Farlow is still -the- jazz guitarist. No one yet completely 'gets' him, except that he always makes perfect sense.

5 out of 5 stars Tal Farlow/Ed Fuerst Sessions.......2003-05-18

Tal Farlow's 1950's recordings are masterpieces of great ideas and great execution. His subtlety, sophistication, swing and drive make him one of the greatest jazz improvisers ever, regardless of instrument.
I first heard these recordings when they were issued on record in the 70's and they sound as great now as they did then.
I am also a guitarist, and I find it sad to believe that many young guitarists are not familiar with Tal's 1950's recordings. In the 70's most of his recordings were not available, and I had to chase them down. Young players do not have that excuse now. The material, such as this release, is available. The fact that I am the first one to review this release shows how unappreciated Tal is. Tal Lives!!!!!!
