Red Norvo / Tal Farlow Trio • 18-07-1982 • World of Jazz

[@tyreesewithers]

60 years old at this point and could still play flawless , out of this world

[@dinkogrgat5188]

"My romance".That's not a solo guitar,that's a pure music.Tal has always been a guitar-chord giant.His single -note soloing is also untouchable.

[@DaniloMarrone]

Don't forget to give some love to Steve Novosel, the extraordinary bassist supporting Red and Tal in this video. The way he anchors the trio is amazing. It's so refreshing to see and hear these absolute legends really listening to each other while remaining free to improvise. This is the highest order of jazz.

[@MARKMANIATT]

Played with Red & Tal in Leeds 1981. An honour and privilege!

That is far out man.

[@edcrouse5491]

My father Earl Crouse was a good friend of Tal's. Used to play with him way way back

[@josephpedoto3241]

Lord, Tal Farlow changes complex chord forms as fast as some guys play lines. What an awesome genius as all these guys are.

[@guyluca7361]

This is like watching a master class.

[@jaytea42]

I got to meet Tal & Red that same year at the Midland Jazz Party! Tal was so nice, let me play his guitar, and hung out with h him all evening.

こんなに楽しくメロディクなjazzいつまでも聴いていたい気持ちです。jazzとは幅広いものですね。スピリチュアルなのも良いけど🎉🎉

[@Rickriquinho]

Jazz is a kind of Classical Music, my friends.

Also Jitterbug Waltz after St Thomas! 💥

[@ssaavedraw]

@@frankybebop2913 very thank u

[@georgenaha1001]

I love the fact that they put up a mic in front of Tal's guitar. He can turn way down when he's comping and get very percussive; great sound!

[@martinroberts8469]

Super concert !

[@patrickyoung3503]

I'm so glad I caught this concert . Top quality jazz by three past masters of their instruments . Lovely skills , interplay fabulous , you name it they have it . Thanks for posting

[@GeorgicAvanesian]

If you notice that Tal is not comping with 4/4 old school style that they used to do, but music still swings, the bass player is playing three parts walking bass line with changes and complimenting the players and yes playing the rhythm( like a drummer). Tal plays the chords on the ALL OF ME like there are 200-chords. And Red Norvo is the real deal somehow they all mesh together..this is the American art form and their artists in their prime. JAZZ is the American invention. Individual Freedom of expression while they all listen to each other. YES.

[@sheercerebralpower]

Ok….going to pull out my Talmadge Farlow Doc and watch it again…..Tal Farlow, love him….

[@gabrielarrigone3933]

Hermosa música !!! jazz del bueno

[@guyluca7361]

All, this a great opportunity to see how Tal approaches rhythm. I met him and asked about it and he said he just did scratching on the records without playing chords. This was in 1997 when he was nearly at the end of his life, so memory fades. He was a very kind mind. I asked him how it felt of being a living legend and he just laughed it off.

[@zummo61]

Love Tal’s thumb bass lines.

[@dylanwolf1982]

I've only watched the first song and it's taken me an hour cos I keeping stopping to transcribe Tal's amazing licks!

[@yvesdimarco7731]

incroya bravooo!

[@jimdixon3470]

Tal recorded two of his best late-career albums around the time of this concert. "Chromatic Palette" with Tommy Flanagan in 1981, and "Cookin' on All Burners" with James Williams in 1982. I don't know if the records tell the whole story of how good or rusty his playing was throughout any given year later in his life, but they definitely document that he could still be on fire at times, and for me, the 1981-82 records find him pretty near his mid-1950s peak.

Red's Great but I'm a Guitar guy and Tal Farlow's playing here is just mesmerizing also the interplay Tal did with Lenny Breau another Guitar legend is a must listen to called "Chance Meeting" I believe

[@cassanovafrankenstein6558]

That ending! Wow

[@hallgeirpedersen4331]

Amazing to learn that this fantastic footage of the legendary cooperation between Red and Tal actually excist. It's great for the future of jazz guitar that we all now can witness Tal's impossible playing from first row in this excellent setting.

[@daleroberts8996]

Wow!

[@jamiewoody7501]

Red Norvo, the vibes player, is my cousin.

You must be 120. Welcome to the club! Charlie Chaplin is my nephew. (So what, who cares?)

[@ricardoleon6142]

Wow. Red Norvo and Tal Farlow on video. Excellent. Not an easy find and most important: beautiful music by two jazz legends. Beautiful instruments too. Anyone knows what kind of bass is that?

[@markcarltonfox1344]

Not sure but it looks like the old Ampeg upright electric.

[@ChordmelodistJ10]

Super Tal solo at 23:00

[@stefanocionfoli5379]

wow!! thanks for this video. Can you load something with jimmy raney? it is not much. thank you so much

[@intuneorange]

Next you will ask for Mundell Lowe !! cheers

[@fominator]

i didn't even notice that there are no drums in there👍

[@jimdixon3470]

They are recreating Red's famous trios from 1950-1954, which had no drummers and featured either Tal or Jimmy Raney on guitar, and either Charles Mingus or Red Mitchell on bass. The Savoy Records recordings of Tal, Mingus, and Red are wonderful chamber bebop.

[@thomasberry21763]

Someday they will discover that aliens have lived amongst us and, surely, Tal Farlow will be listed. His command of the guitar is undeniably out-of-this-world (along with Ted Greene and Lenny Breau)

12:00 !!!!!

Prada.

26:00 my romance

[@frankmartinez3504]

I tell my students not to wrap their thumbs around the neck. But Tal gets a pass because the results are so musical. The solo verse all harmonics on My Romance is stunning.

Guys with huge hands can do it. Jimi always did.

[@JamesSmith-vk2ky]

The audio on these is ALWAYS low! Why can't you fix it? Otherwise, you might as well stop posting these videos at all.

[@ConwayT91]

oh boo fucking hoo, turn up the volume. Thanks for posting these amazing videos! dont stop uploading please!

[@martinroberts8469]

@James Smith - Nothing wrong with audio volume on these videos. Suggestion ... Upgrade your equipment or, meaning no disrespect, have your ears checked ; I did, and having been fitted with hearing aids, found the improvement amazing !

[@bobtaylor170]

Download a sound booster. I've found that every few days, you have to play around with it, sometimes turning it up, sometimes actually turning it down, but it does a nice job of raising volume.

[@russellparratt9859]

James Smith, you are correct. The sound IS very low. It needs to be up full to hear it properly. Any comparison with a properly recorded upload to youtube proves this. The sarcastic critics in this thread can go and fuck themselves.

[@DANYL5Archtop1]

@@russellparratt9859 Sorry you are experiencing difficulty. For the rest of us, with good playback equipment, it's just fine.

[@JackTheSkunk]

This perfectly illustrates why I say if you're going to study jazz guitar listen to vibe and clarinet players. They generally play smooth and melodic lines. Tal plays alot of notes but in my opinion are not melodic.

[@DonFonzarelli-uq9yx]

Well jazz isnt always smooth and melodic.
