Talmage Farlow A Film by Lorenzo DeStefano Available on DVD April 4, 2006 Through Music Video Distributors


Music Video Distributors and Lorenzo DeStefano are pleased to announce the home viewing release Talmage Farlow for worldwide distribution on DVD. 

Talmage Farlow, a film by Lorenzo DeStefano, is a charming and engaging look at the life and music of the great American jazz guitarist.  Tal Farlow was a musical pioneer who left the jazz scene in 1958 at the height of his acclaim, choosing instead to paint signs and give music lessons in the Atlantic coastal town of Sea Bright. Soon after the film's original release in 1981, Tal discovered that his fans, old and young, had not forgotten him.  Finding himself in demand again, he ventured far from home in the ensuing years on recording dates, international tours, and in club and concert appearances throughout North America.  

Since his death on July 25, 1998, Farlow's place among the great innovators of modern jazz seems well assured. Constantly searching, refining, and experimenting, he was more than just a great musician.  His patient struggle to find a balance between artistic excellence and peace of mind is the real story behind Talmage Farlow, a sensitive and fitting tribute to this giant of a man.

“Superb… Brilliantly Crafted! A remarkable film about a remarkable artist.” - SIGHT & SOUND.


“A revealing glimpse of Mr. Farlow both as a person and musician… As much concerned with a philosophy of life as it is with music.”  - NEW YORK TIMES.


“One of the most striking portrait documentaries ever made, Lorenzo DeStefano’s “Talmage Farlow” has become a classic.”  - JAZZ EDUCATORS JOURNAL.
