One thing Tal always had, beyond everything else, was his chord comping, which is better than anyone else's I've ever seen. I saw hi many times when I was younger, and he was always outrageous.

I had the pleasure of seeing Tal in the mid 80s here in the U.K.I was sitting right in front of him and he kept looking at me and my cousin all night, I couldnt figure it out years later I thought maybe it was because we were 16 yrs old kids with all these old people sitting around us and we stood out.Anyway glad I saw him live.

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, KZitem has mostly his later work; in his 30's & 40's he ruled..

Steve you sure get what this is all about - pure undiluted JOY which you can see on their faces and hear in their spontaneous creations - how great to have such an abundance of appreciative and respectful comments made by so many who honour the memory of these masters - in a hundred years time this music will sound just as great as it did since it was first performed - timeless beauty !

Wow, thanks. Red Norvo was around when Billie Holiday was playing and was on the live recordings on the "Billie's Blues" album, one of my favorites. Never saw a live recording of Red. Tal Farlow was a very close friend of my father-in-law and they played together when he came to visit Earl Johnson in Mt.Pleasant, SC. Earl was devastated when Tal passed away. So nice seeing these giants together on the same stage.

What a pleasure! I too started out just listening to Hendrix, Clapton et al. but have discovered the joys of traditional jazz guitar. You have to listen more carefully because it doesn't scream and wail but if you do you will be richly rewarded. Same with Red Norvo - an underrated musician. Charles Mingus was once the bass player for Red's trio.

Bassist Steve Novosel was in many many groups in the greater DC area. Especially notable for his work with top female singers, so this performance was somewhat unusual but it took place in DC so no touring involved. In the late '60s-early '70s, he and Roberta Flack were married.

@E:Found out more: Tal did have two short-scale axes, (tho neither were ever his signature model): 1/An (originally) full-scale ES-250, no cutaway, which didn't allow Tal to reach higher frets. He had the first fret removed, & the bridge & pickups moved up appropriately, so that the 15th & 16th frets moved up free of the guitar body. 2/A red ES-125-3/4 that Gibson gave him, for a TV show that wanted him to play a red guitar.

Hampton, Jackson, Burton... ...and I believe that Norvo predates them all (except maybe Hamp... you look it up, it's late). Note, please, that Red almost never looks at his hands or keyboard: He KNOWS where everything is. Note, please, the incredible reach of Tal's hands: I read somewhere that, for a while, his nickname was "The Spider." (All props to the bass-player, of whom I have never heard, for holding his own with these two.) And, at 5:15, two choruses of Jazz Counterpoint begin. Having Tal and Red on the same stage, in such an intimate trio format, is HUGE.

@EAD: The Tal Farlow model has a standard 25.5" scale, . Perhaps you're thinking of the Byrdland, 23.5", designed by famed session men Billy Byrd & Hank Garland. Garland was probably the #1 Farlow fan. He was also an elite jazz player on his own time, when not doing country and rock & roll sessions, but he didn't have those big hands, so perhaps Tal did have an indirect influence on the short-scale design.
@EADGBE54 - I was talking specifically about the nut-widths of skinny-necked Gibson guitars... which I cannot abide. Scale length, I can work with. But, I won't touch a guitar with less than a nut-width of less than 44.45mm.
