"The Swinging Guitar of Tal Farlow"

This is quintessential Tal Farlow one of the masters of Jazz guitar with his trio including the fabulous Eddie Costa at the piano and Vinnie Burke on bass. The repertoire is mostly standards but done in the unique and wonderfully refreshing manner by one of the great masters of Jazz guitar Tal Farlow! This album was recorded in May of 1956 after Tal did his apprenticeship with Red Norvo and Artie Shaw and others. This band became the house band at The Composer, an upscale Jazz venue in New York until it's closing in 1958. Enjoy a guitarist who was not only swinging but creative and distinctive and whose technical facility was the envy of every other guitarist. Tal Farlow Jazz giant!
