Tal Farlow & Red Norvo - Fascinating Rhythm

[local802blues]

Three guys who loved what they were doing and it shows!

[sabu63]

I had an inkling as to the type and amount of experience Steve Novosel has, and I guess I chose correctly when searching for an upright instructor...Steve is amazing!

[geetarnut]

two very very fine musicians! Red Norvo is super on the vibes, I wish I would have listened to him more, so sorry

[jamboliboli]

@fullzodiac well that's your problem there, Tal Farlow is a guitar player, not a woodsman, you should probably stay out of the woodshed and start playing guitar.

[parangtua]

snapdragon FABIOLOSO!!!! IT AIN'T ITALAN BUT U NO WHAT I MEAN.

[MrArchtop]

Tal was one of sweetest men I ever met and one of the truly original greats on guitar. It just came to him "naturally". He is one of the few with an unmistakeable style: you hear two bars and you know it's Tal! To those who criticize his technique, I say, "Let me hear you play!"

[stasiako]

TO JEST TO. TAK BRZMI KLASYKA JAZZOWA !

[RobertMStFleur]

Tal Farlow knows his guitar very well; in his playing no limitation he shows. Improvisation he has mastered. Few guitar players out there master the improvisation' skill. That's why they play the melody six to seven times and close up the tune after all.

That's not Gary burton on bass, look up.

[racourdav]

He was a guitarisr before he became a sign painter....he seemed to have had problems with severe depression too. Helluv guitar player and he seemed to be a pretty nice guy.

[janbahan]

Tal is the man forever !

[Jazzboful]

Mr Farlow was pretty good for a sign painter. (no sh!t)

[cast390]

sounds like everyone is trying to out play each other.

[larxley]

[r3a3v3e3n]

but this is the first time ive heard of red norvo

[yanych]

and young Gary Burton on bass :-))))

[tpo828]

Egads! Fantastic stuff. Anybody know the name of the bass player?

[arthurthegreat]

Steve Novosel

[cajunstix]

one word. holly crap red norvo kicks booty!!

[fiddlercrab3]

Red Norvo consistently blows me away. He may be my favorite vibes player of all time, with the possible exception of Steve Nelson (that's a stylistic toss-up). Thanks for the great vid.

[meekrob]

Damn, Farlow's hands make Hendrix look like Angus Young!

[thejazzman8]

line at 3:04 is sick

[thejazzman8]

[rearrangio]

He makes it look so effortless....AMAZING!

[motreby]

[4578a]

What year is this? Sounds so good, like the first time they were together.

[portobob]

Dynamite!!!!

[skok65]

Smoking!

[BuckshotLaFunke]

Yes, not bad for an oldtimer, also when you bear in mind that his hearing became impaired in these years. Wonderful Farlow, by the way.

[utacctcs]

bidmodulus

[josephdupont]

the vibe guy is great.. not bad for an old timer..

Tal plays at the watchung arts center in Watchung. a real talent.

[thork86]

correct me if im wrong... did he not pass away about 10 years ago?

[00RisetovotesiR00]

oh, dude....Brilliant...

[ahiddenlibrary]

Farlow's alternate picking is beyond sick. Just thought you all should know.

[6784629445]

OMG oops sorryyyy i was supposed to click thumbs up but i clicked thumbs down =(

[sthomper89512]

@6784629445

as long as your sorry.

[NickinDK]

When (and where) was this recorded? Around 1970? or later?

[DPMstudios]

wow =(

[edcerc]

wow this might be the best video of tal ive seen thusfar. He has such a great sound and his lines are so fluid.

[pelicanzzzz]

totally amazing

[4578a]

I think Tal turned the volume down all the way on his guitar when he played rhythm behind other musicians. that's where that acoustic sound comes from. it also sounds like a drummer playing with brushes which makes sense because he hardly ever played with a drummer. the only one missing here from the original lineup is Charles mingus.

[Geepsterr]

I follow but on here his volume control is not going all the way down, Tone maintains too much roundness and these guitars aren't acoustically that fat like say a Johnny Smith model with suspended pickup. But many studio jazz guitars are recorded with mic positioned near the guitar.

[zeppelinman4232]

And look at Steve over there on bass!! He's rippin' it up!! Those cellos aren't exactly easy to play!!

[zeppelinman4232]

Musical geniuses.

[Jazzman1985]

Great performance. How did Tal get that great acoustic tone? Is it just his fingers?

[lacarra]

I love Red Norvo.

[jmeintn]

Guess I'm not through practicing.

[mrbarber76]

Nice I never knew about either of these guy but I do now.

[fourstar645]

This is the best thing i ever heard! I thought the original he did on A Sign Of the times was it, but know now i understand wich sick cindes of music it is that playd Jazz like Tal Farlow! Oh My God!

[purchi]

this is not a trio is a trinity!!!!!!!!!!!
