Great Compilation of Hard to Find Tal Farlow Albums

"Even though I already own all of these albums included here in some form, I was very excited to see this two disc collection available to buy while in a record store the other day. Included are the albums "The Tal Farlow Album", "The Interpretations of Tal Farlow", "A Recital by Tal Farlow", and "TAL". All of these are very hard to find and if you are lucky enough to come across them, they are very expensive. This is a great deal for this music. It is essentially priced as a double-disc cd....which it is...BUT, besides the fact that there are four albums, any one of these cd's would run you over the price of this entire collection. These also contain some of Tal's very best playing. The music in this collection as well as "The Swinging Guitar of Tal Farlow" and all of the music he played with the Red Norvo Trio in the early fifties are essential listening for any music lover. I would also like to point out that two of the albums on here 'A Recital...' and 'Interpretations' are also the two albums that make up the majority of the album "Guitar Genius : The LA Sessions". If you have the money to buy this, then go for it. It's well worth it. Some of the most beautiful music for $20"
