It makes perfect sense. George Benson looked up to both of these giants. He thought the world of Tal's speed, vocabulary and nack to swing. He toured globally with Barney (and Jim Hall, simultaneously), about whom George said, "it was like going to college, learning new things daily from Barney".
Tal's economy of motion is amazing. His fingers seem to move at a natural pace but the speed and precision is astounding. I still listen to his album, "Tal," with reverence. He was amazing.
Due chitarristi incredibili ! Verso la fine c'è un disguido ritmico , ma un esecuzione davvero brillante ! Tal rimarrà il chitarrista più creativo e spontaneo della storia del Jazz !
Two beautiful people and two astonishingly fine talents. I had the great pleasure in meeting both and listening to their music. You could not meet a nicer pair of gentlemen.
This is just ripping! A no holds barred, knock down, drag out shred fest! They dish out more licks than a ice cream stand on the 4th of July. Thank you for posting.
Lucky you ! And lucky me too, I met him here in London UK - and I agree - he is a delightful character and my all time favourite player - That club in Seabright must have been near where he lived
Totally Amazing interplay between these two Giants! A real treat on a tune you don’t usually hear in a jazz context. The time was a little iffy, but they held it together … ten stars🎉
I've been a jazz guitar nut for over 60 years and Kessel was my number one. Hard to decide who came second ... Farlow was on a pretty equal footing with the likes of Jimmy Raney, Herb Ellis, Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell, Joe Pass, etc.. Charlie Bird joined my list a little later, as did Hank Garland and many others over the years ... all-in-all, a helluva bunch of guys - too many more to mention.
Undoubtedly, Kessel's punctuality is almost supernatural. It's hard to be so punctual at such a speed, yet not being "dry" but on the contrary - imaginative/vivacious.
This is such a fantastic video. Both of them look like they're having so much fun and I've always wondered if these two played together. Outstanding musicianship.
As a primarily 70's Prog Rock guitarist whose favorite guitarist is Steve Howe, all I can say is, I can see why Steve got into these two guys when he was a teenager. Kessel and Farlow are masters who exhibit amazing technique, harmonic and melodic sophistication, emotion and taste, not to mention intense concentration and flawless execution. I wonder if this a part of a DVD. I couldn't find anything other than this UA-cam video.
Smedley, this is a fkn killer performance. Tal played local highschools in NJ and I saw him for the 1st time in a high school playing solo. This was obviously pro shot and hopefully it comes out in its entirety. ( I saw Steve Howe at the Headliner in Neptune NJ solo. There was maybe 30 people in the place !! Of course mind blowing
Yagamei, this was recorded for German television. I supect language barriers are the reason for the audience slow response. This concert was an utter revelation when a friend loaned it to me on videocassette in 1990!
From a technical perspective, jazz and classical guitarists are perhaps the most amazing guitarists around. Typically, their knowledge of chord theory, constantly changing scales and meters is far more complex and difficult to master. Maybe this is why I think Joe Pass is so impressive, as he was so melodic, but both his right and left hand techniques combine the levels of difficulty of both classical and jazz, masterfully, effortless. Fortunately, I was blessed to see Tal several years before he died - outside on a beautiful summer evening!
in classical music, that isn't done. does your teacher teach classical guitar? also tal farlow had giant hands, i guess it was a must for him. I can't do that i need to keep my thumb behind the neck except for chords.
He made many contributions to the evolution of jazz guitar....spotlightlighting the guitar trio.....moving lines of improvised chords.......up tempos that required the same advanced technique of other instruments of the bebop era....his distinctive harmonic language. He did have a rather poor stage personality though, when conversing with the audience! (.30)
Jim_Bastian_Jazz_Guitar - I assume we're talking about Kessel here ... disagree - I've seen and heard many of his 'preambles' and found his sense of humour and easy-going manner always hits the spot with his English-speaking audiences. He was, though, undoubtedly a beast of the jazz guitar ... one point we can agree on.
Even the cheap finishes on Tal and Barney's guitar hasn't effect their playing any. Notice all the weather cracks. The miles haven't been good to those guitars finish wise. New finishes hold up a lot better. I think that is the Tal Farlow model prototype he's playing, or perhaps a later model.
Tal Farlow is one of the unsung greats. Fantastic musician. God Bless him.
Last night I watched an interesting documentary on Amazon Prime called “Talmage Farlow”. Such a pleasant, humble guy, but what a great guitarist.
Not unsung at all
Tal is the true heir to the Charlie Christian throne.

Polite applause to two masters absolutely shredding it with ungodly ease and confidence.
All four of these cats are killing.
Damn, Barneys SHOES
Viva Tal Farlow e Barney Kessel. Vero Jazz !!!! Qui non si suonano i pattern ma quello che passa dalle loro grandi menti. Che idee magiche !!!!
2 incredible artists
Excellent! Two compatible greats! A wonderful study in how to play together and communicate.
Barney was such a sweet guy.
Both he and Tal's inventiveness & artistry could never be replaced.
Thank you for this video.

And yet it all sounds and looks virtually effortless!!
NOTHING BUT CLASS HERE BRAVO.
Holy Cow! LOL! I don't know what I expected when I clicked this video, but I got waaay more than that! Excellent!
clearly as in a mornin`sunrise is, TAL is the Numbero Uno ofall times
You are NOT wrong ! ! !
Wow....why the hell can't I play like these two......please god give me 1/1000000th of their talent....and i'll be happy for eternity !
Tal was a nice guy and great natural musician,I talked with him once at a cub in Seabright NJ.
Lucky you ! And lucky me too, I met him here in London UK - and I agree - he is a delightful character and my all time favourite player - That club in Seabright must have been near where he lived

Barney made me laugh...Comical musical phrase injected near the end. Great musicians!

AHHHH! Better than most things! So good!
Deux grands! ça joue terrible. Barney en grande forme.

That lick at 3:26 kills! I love these guys and so did my guitar teacher and grandpa (Nick Oschefski) Vancouver B.C.
Real talent here!
They are both amazing, but it feels like Kessel is hanging on for dear life keeping up with Tal. Truly phenomenal musicians.
Wunderbare Gitarristen des 20. Jahrhunderts, stilbildend fuer Generatiionen im Jazz.

Smedley Butler Jr. Welcome to the party chum.

Oh Yeah !!...As Expected ...EXCELLENT !!
They were good guts. This brought tears (probably of happiness to my eyes) Uppps ı was almost goıng to write 'to my ears'! :)))))

Ironically, I met him at JFK in 1985....I told him I just bought one of his Albums. He looked at me at said, "Your The One?"

@@Minotauro_di_Chieti I don't know. Maybe just in time to avoid mindless nonsense writing, randomly over jazz guitar video? And you?
yummy jazz.. i enjoy every second of the entire video.
SUPERB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks ;-)
Why come none of they're shoes got no shoelaces?
Haha...Barney is definitely "stylin"
More licks than a special bus window!
Aliens
Probably
I M P E C A B L E S...
Damn Tal Farlow - how can he play like that?
Breakneck tempo, yeah!
@xqpod111
I think Chuck Redd on drums and Joe Byrd on bass.
Tal's fingers just dance on that neck.
@lucyfanclub Sign of the time I think but OK I agree with a laugh! ;-)
Who is the drummer in this video?
Barney made a little Kessel at 0:26
I agree but if you like this that much, why you didn't adding any *****?????
What was the year? Late ‘80s?
And what about the rhythm section?
Who plays bass? Thx in advance
Joe Byrd, the brother. 😉
anybody understand why barney looked at rhythm section?
Maybe to sync up. On another topic, I hated the sound of the snare!
in classical music, that isn't done. does your teacher teach classical guitar? also tal farlow had giant hands, i guess it was a must for him. I can't do that i need to keep my thumb behind the neck except for chords.

the real great one is Victor van Kampen.... the best who ever played
@lucyfanclub vai a farti una passeggiata

LOL, what a LAME crowd. They didn't even pick up on Barney's joke.
Es molt fea la cançó
