(2-CD set) On CD1 of this splendid new release from Avid Jazz we can hear Tal alongside the likes of Oscar Pettiford, Joe Morello, Red Mitchell, Stan Levey and Claude Williamson to name but a few. Around 1953 Tal made his first recordings as leader for the Blue Note label, however he was soon moved across to the Norgran label by boss Norman Granz. These are the recordings you can hear on CD2 of this fine re-mastered double CD. Tal's trio consists of pianist Eddie Costa and bassist Vinnie Burke. We feature FOUR entire albums from this period "The Tal Farlow Album", " The Interpretations Of Tal Farlow," "A Recital By Tal Farlow" and "Tal".just in case you forgot his name!!
