Lordy if that Tal Farlow isn't superb! What a story, takes up the guitar at 21 and at 22 plays professionally! Then walks away from it all to go back to work as a sign painter!! Not to be confused with just any Jazz guitarist, he was considered by most of his peers at the time to be THE man by which all are to be measured. Boggles the mind, talent like that. Now on to Sonny Rollins...
