dinner and a show

The show was great. I had never seen Larry in this arrangement.( first saw Larry at the Lone Star in manhatten in 1977. I was very pleasently surprised that Alphozne Mouzon was sitting in, since it was billed differently. I had never seen joe Bagg who is now on my radar. Very sweet show, got to meet Larry and [read more]

Fleet-fingered jazz master Larry Coryell.
[...]

In 1965, after attending college in Seattle, a 22-year-old Larry Coryell headed to New York. He stopped in Denver first, though, where he heard the organ trio was all the rage.

Fortunately, they were staying at a hotel nearby while in town for performances at Yoshi’s, so it was relatively easy to make [read more]

Larry Coryell, Impressions

Friday July 18, 2008 - posted in The Guardian (guardian.co.uk)

on 21 Jul 2008 by John Fordham

Larry Coryell's name isn't bandied around much now, but in the 1970s he was almost as big a guitar star as John McLaughlin, and an equivalent influence on the development of early electric jazz-rock fusion. But this is not just another cosy retro exercise. Coryell's crackling uptempo bursts and engagingly rough-hewn energy give this familiar music a vividness and infectious [read more]

THE LARRY CORYELL TRIO AT THE JAZZ FACTORY

on 14 Jul 2008 by Martin Kasdan Jr.

It was apparent from the first notes from the Larry Coryell Trio that they came to PLAY! Guitarist Coryell, with electric bassist Mark Egan and drummer Paul Wertico, tore into the opening "Good Citizen Swallow," (referring to bassist Steve Swallow, Coryell's old bandmate in the Gary Burton Quartet) with a vengeance. The title track from the trio's superb album "Tricycles," [read more]

The real deal - Larry Mark and Paul (and Tracey) please an appreciative audience in Annapolis

Paul Wetico and Mark Egan are among the masters of their instruments and, as always, Larry plays to the level of his band, and brings his best chops when in the company of equally talented musicians.

Arturo's Jazz

on 09 Dec 2007 by Ed Green

I saw Larry for the 1st time in a long awaited time. Having recently moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan, I didn't get to see Larry while growing up/living in Texas and Colorado. As a guitarist, watching Larry is like an encyclopedia of styles, but he always has his own spin on it. He was one of the best performers [read more]
