Classic Jazz Guitar - Guitarists (339 words) |
 | When guitarist Tal Farlow (1921 - 1998) died in July 1998, at the age of 77, he left behind an unmatched legacy of jazz guitar music. |
| In the 1940's Tal Farlow was in New York beginning to influence and capture the imaginations of jazz guitarists and jazz fans with his unique sound and style. |
| Concord Jazz brought Farlow out of "retirement" in the late 1970's to make a series of recordings that are as astounding in their own way as those made in the 1950's. |

| He has an encyclopedic knowledge of every aspect of how the guitar has developed in jazz throughout its history, and he is able to use his incredible time feel and deep skill at melodic development to make every situation I have heard him in rise to a very high level. |
| I feel honored to be on the list of KC guitarists with all of these guys, as well as the others you have read about in this issue of JAM who have made KC their home for all or part of their lives. |
