A documentary really worth seeing...
Over the weekend, the Sundance channel ran the documentary Tom Dowd and the Language of Music. I caught it halfway through and then, fascinated, set up the Tivo to catch it when it re-ran very early Monday morning.If you have any interest in music whatsoever, you have to see this movie.
Dowd was a studio magician--an engineer and producer, who worked with just about everyone who ever released anything on Atlantic or Atlantic associated labels. Along with Les Paul, he effectively invented multi-track recording. He was present at the birth of soul music (engineering Ray Charles sessions in the '50s), and recorded everyone from Charles Mingus and John Coltrane to Cream to the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and the Bee Gees.
One of the film's highlights (at least for me) is Dowd sitting at the console playing around with the master tapes of the Derek & The Dominos classic Layla...scenes show him isolating the late great Duane Allman's guitar solos on the song, among other things.
Whew! See it if you can.
