In any recording, the most overlooked contributor is the recording engineer, the person responsible for capturing the sound of the performers. "Tom Dowd and the Language of Music" tells the astonishing story of arguably the most successful recording engineer in history.

For this intriguing documentary, Oscar-winning director Davis Guggenheim ("An Inconvenient Truth") brings together superstar rock guitarists from three successive eras—Jack White (The White Stripes and The Raconteurs), The Edge (U2), and Surrey native Jimmy Page (The Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin)—for a high-level summit on music, life, and the love shared by all three artists: the guitar.  The result is a unique combination of biography, conversation, and high-level jam session with three distinctive but kindred artists.
