Trailer for the 90-minute documentary TOM DOWD & THE LANGUAGE OF MUSIC. The film profiles the extraordinary life and legendary work of music producer/recording engineer Tom Dowd. Historical footage, vintage photographs and interviews with a who’s who list of musical giants from the worlds of jazz, soul and classic rock shine a spotlight on the brilliance of Tom Dowd, whose creative spirit and passion for innovative technology helped shape the course of modern music.
Note: The creators of TOM DOWD & THE LANGUAGE OF MUSIC have prepared the film for a hi-definition re-remaster and re-release, and have offers to re-distribute the film worldwide. Unfortunately, we have been unable to renew the story rights agreement, originally made with Tom Dowd, without compromising the integrity of the project. Until this happens we cannot get the film back into circulation.
