Tal Farlow Trinity Release Date: 1977 Running Time: 44:02 Label: TriStar Music This is one of Tal Farlow's more obscure recordings, which originally was released by the Japanese label Tristar in 1977, then reissued by Columbia in Holland the following decade. The guitarist sticks primarily to standards; his trio includes pianist Mike Nock and bassist Lynn Christie. The leader's lyricism is readily apparent in the lightly swinging take of "(There Is) No Greater Love," while his mastery of bop is evident in the lively interpretations of "My Shining Hour" and "But Not for Me." The lovely take of "Angel Eyes" begins with Farlow playing unaccompanied. There are two tracks present that don't measure up. Producer Teo Macero's "The Wolf and the Lamb" is an unstirred original. Farlow's "Funk Among the Keys" adds drummer Bob Jaspe and has Nock switching to electric keyboards, resulting in a bizarre song that sounds totally out of place on this otherwise enjoyable session.
