Tom Dowd was a musician, engineer, producer, physicist, mathematician, and everyday genius. Along with Eric Clapton he discusses how the album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs came together with Clapton, Duane Allman, and Derick and the Dominos.

Filmed at Criteria Studios in Miami, FL, Dowd is shown at work behind the soundboards and reflecting on his memorable career. Dowd, whose creative spirit and passion for innovative technology helped shape the course of modern music, takes the controls behind the mixer relearning the title song Layla 30 years after its creation. From "Tom Dowd The Language of Music."

Mr. Dowd's credits include recording sessions with Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Eric Clapton, Otis Redding, John Coltrane, The Allman Brothers Band, Tito Puente, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Cream, Rod Stewart, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Booker T. & the MG's and countless other musical luminaries.

Born 20 October 1925 in New York, New York, died 27 October 2002 in Aventura, Florida.

One of Tom Dowds legacies is a music treasure chest filled with timeless classics.

So great to hear the isolated tracks, and it really says something about how actual "music" works. There are so many flat/sharp notes in the guitars when solo'd, and IT DOES NOT MATTER! You mix it all together and it sounds amazing! Our current auto-tuned, every note fixed and quantized rock stars could learn a thing or two from this.

Layla is a great song but personally I have always liked the part from the Piano solo onward more.

I remember hearing a local DJ, out of Atlanta of all places, say that Allman's part in the song wasn't as good as people made it out to be. He said that on live radio right after the song had ended! I felt like Obi Wan Kenobi feeling the force of a million people that wanted to reach through the radio and slap some sense into that guy. I was one of them. ;)This video was fun to watch. The song is a rare and timeless masterpiece.

This is from a movie on Tom Dowd - Tom Down and the Language of Music. It is well worth checking out...

No disrespect intended but I couldn't help noticing how much Mr. Dowd looks like Charlie Manson.

Tom Dowd was the mastermind behind the recordings of Ray Charles early success and the Great Joe Bonnamassa in his teenage years, even suggested he'd better have learned to play slide guitar on standard tunings than just open tunings. He in the '40s was in the think tank of the making of the A Bombs (Plutonium & Uranium) of Nagasaki and Hiroshima! His true mastery came of the 8 track recorder while others were using one or two 4 track machines mixed down to a half track to stereo before those technologies ever existed, he also upon his death was found to have had numerous Allman Bros recordings that eventually were remixed and released by Gregg Allman, all tucked away in his attic, incredible!

I am not going to apologize....this work was so astounding and so appropriate for the day and time it was made and distributed; but as a devoted fan and musician, I can only wish and hate that when the song Layla was given to the producers of the movie 'Good Fellows', the whole experience of care, peace, and desire to be compatible with all races, political persuasions was crapped upon when this song was given over to represent murderous, hateful, lying, inconsiderate lifestyles!!! all for the sake of Hollywood, money, and fame!! You guys picked the worst to represent the best! May all of you be filled contempt. Money just to show others the tune that was made to recognize peace, health, and care and you used it to represent lawbreakers and murderers............for money!!!! You should be flushed downed the toilet of common caring sense!!!!!!!!!!!

A pretty well unimprovable track. Amazing serendipity Duane being there for the recording, chills listening to his whistling slide on the Part 1. outro.

When he starts isolating the tracks to Clapton and Allman, it's like these guys suddenly pop out of the music and they're standing there in the studio playing. These men come alive right there. It sent goosebumps through me.
