About this product

Product Information

In the annals of pop music, there's probably no one other than legendary impresario John Hammond whose ubiquitousness compares with that of engineer/producer Tom Dowd. From the 1950s on, Dowd was both a tireless technological innovator and a uniquely musical engineer and producer. A key figure at the Atlantic and Stax labels, among others, Dowd was intimately involved with the recording of the giants of jazz (Dizzy Gillespie, Ornette Coleman), soul (Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin), and rock (Cream, Allman Brothers, Derek & the Dominos). TOM DOWD & THE LANGUAGE OF MUSIC is a lively profile of this artistic and technical mastermind, punctuated by gripping performance footage of the countless top-shelf artists on Dowd's resume, as well as interviews with some of those musicians, and with the charming, effervescent Dowd himself.Besides being a skilled musician (at one point we see him playing some impressive jazz piano), Dowd was uniquely qualified for his work on the technical side, with his background as an army engineer. Not only did Dowd oversee the making of groundbreaking albums like Derek & the Dominos' LAYLA and Otis Redding's OTIS BLUE, he helped design and test the atomic bomb in the infamous Manhattan Project. Clearly this is a man with a story to tell, and this film tells it in a visually and contextually arresting format, focusing on Dowd's long list of achievements as well as his natural gift for communication and camaraderie.

Fantastic documentary
Highly recommended if you can get it at a good price. This is currently out of print, with many sellers wanting $100 or more. I got a great deal at $35 and love this.

If you're interested in music recording buy this DVD!
In addition to learning how Tom Dowd influenced so much popular music from the 1950's to present day, we get an outstanding history lesson on how the music was recorded. It includes examples of how many, many hit songs came into being and shows how primitive the music recording industry once was, how it evolved over the years and an insight into production and management. Fascinating interviews are placed throughout the DVD with a who's who of famous artists, engineers and A&R executives that add credibility to the timeless work and labor of love Tom Dowd dedicated his life to. Once you realize the career choices he had prior to committing to recording music industry and what he accomplished from that time forward, you'll know exactly what I mean...In addition to learning how Tom Dowd influenced so much popular music from the 1950's to present day, we get an outstanding history lesson on how the music was recorded.
