We Say...
Nicknamed "The Octopus" for his large hands that allowed him to cover great stretches on the fingerboard, Farlow plays with fantastic drive and speed combined with a refined harmonic sense on this 1969 studio session. After making his initial splash with the Red Norvo Trio from 1949-1953, followed by a string of recordings as a leader through 1956, the guitarist dropped off the scene and became a sign painter in New England. This set marks his triumphant return after more than a decade and finds him still at the top of his game.

They Say...
After recording a series of rewarding albums in the '50s, guitarist Tal Farlow largely dropped out of the jazz scene, being quite content to be a sign painter in New England. This Prestige set (reissued on CD) was his first in a decade and would be followed by another seven years of silence. Fortunately, Farlow had continued playing on a low-profile basis in the interim, and he was still very much in top form. Joined by pianist John Scully, bassist Jack Six and drummer Alan Dawson, Farlow performs swinging versions of seven standards, including "Straight, No Chaser," "I'll Remember April" and "Crazy, She Calls Me." Recommended.
