Album Notes & Community Reviews

Documenting some of his earliest sessions as a bandleader for Blue Note, 'Tal Farlow Quartet' highlights the guitarist's astonishing technical agility and harmonic ingenuity. Farlow's impossibly fast, linear runs and complex chord voicing redefine the role of the guitar in a small-group modern jazz setting. The record is a foundational text for enthusiasts of mid-century bop guitar.
