Impressions (Chesky SACD 337)

on 14 Jul 2008 by Martin Kasdan Jr.

By Martin Kasdan Jr. Pioneering jazz guitarist Larry Coryell is not one to rest on his laurels.

Coryell and Wertico have collaborated on Coryell's latest release,Impressions (Chesky SACD 337). This is an unusual recording in Coryell's lengthy [read more]

Tracks 01 Unemployed Floyd 02 Tender Tears 03 Equipoise 04 Christina 05 Joy Spring 06 First Things First Ive always ignored the 1980s work of Larry Coryell. I wasnt keen about that period. Jazz and Rock were too slick those days. EQUIPOISE is a exception. Larry returned to honest and pure jazz here. No crazy breaks or hard fast guitar licks here. The album is full of [read more]
