Talmage Farlow

This is more a window briefly opened to a man's soul than just a jazz portrait. Being a superb showcase for lost masters like Farlow, Flanagan or Breau in exquisite intimate line-ups, the philosophical weight may prevail even over the music itself. Tal was both the humblest guy versus the greatest performer, so he chose fishing and painting signs on boats anonymously near his wife for years, while the whole world was struggling for him to haunt the stage again. Despite of his unique tremendous input in jazz, he shows unsatisfied with his own achievements in life. An overwhelming lesson by a true genius.
