In the 50's Tal recorded an album which contained 'Love Nest'. His solo are incredible throughout, but he ends on a breathtaking run that goes on almost forever, & which shows him to be one of the legendary masters of the guitar in the style that pretty much ruled jazz from WWII up into the 1960s. There are other greats, and none are slouches, but there is simply no denying Tal. He was lyrical, inventive and did it all. Sadly, YouTube has mostly his later work; in his 30's & 40's he ruled..

I have been a fan of Tal most of my life. He is the king of bebop jazz guitar. the best of them who came after Christian. Red Norvo trio is superb and one of the best trios in jazz. guitarman1943

Wes Montgomery, who wasn't a "fool" or an "idiot," noted about Tal (after praising him greatly): "Sometimes he gets kind of sloppy like a lot of guitar players, that's why a lot of cats have put him down." I think Wes was right: Tal could get sloppy, particularly in his later years. But, so what? He was still one of the very best.

wow, these 3 were real amazing musicians, such a shame we were born to late to appretiate this trio live, tho I think Steve still lives, anyone knows?

@francisco444 I think he does more subs than Pass when comping. Tal is always doing something tricky while comping.

Great version

Somethin' about Tals' smooth walk a walk pace and extra note runs where most would stop..not talkin about long show off runs but his phrasing..sounds like a mouse runnin' 'round a house..the 50s Red trio jams were ridiculous...one of my favorite guitarists for sure..amazing how your mind opens..I started as a Black Sabbath disciple in H.School...now I love how everything has it's place...Farlow is a monster guitarist!
