Tom in RI Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 I saw Larry Coryell with a 4tet about 4 years ago and was very satisfied with the show. One of his sons (Julian?) was also on guitar who didn't take but a couple of solos. The show was very much in a straight ahead vein, no fusion in sight. The highlight of the show for me was the drumming of Kenwood Denard who I spoke with after the show. I told him he reminded me of Boston percussion icon Alan Dawson and he told me he had had studied with him. I'd say go see him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzmessenger Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 I just saw Larry Coryell with Badi Assad and John Abercrombie (they have a new CD on Chesky) about a month ago at Montreal Jazz Festival. I saw many good shows while I was there, but his group was one of the best. All acoustic and some Brazilian flavor. I think I will see Larry Coryell again next month at Detroit Jazz Festival. I am looking forward to seeing him again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 I've been listening to his new CD, Tricycles, with Mark Egan and Paul Wertico, and it is excellent. He sounds as good or better than ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 KNTU has been playing a track from his album Tricycles lately. He’s playing in a pianoless trio on this album. If that one track is any indication, he’s smokin’ now!!! I’d see him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Same here - he finally seems to have gotten his musical ADD under control and is playing very well if that new album is any indication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sal Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Coryell's recent disc The Power Trio, Live in Chicago was superb. I saw this band during the week they recorded this album, and they were great! Larry is playing very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ariceffron Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 very well thank you i will try and check him out next month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris olivarez Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 I have some old vinyl of Larry's that I must revisit sometime soon. I got turned on to Larry,Wes Montgomery and Jerry Hahn at roughly the same time. I've always liked Larry. He's had a lot of good collabarations. One in particular I want to check out is his work with Steve Marcus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alon Marcus Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 No He is better I didn't like for a long time cause when I first heard him I was saturated with the virtuoso stuff from Mclaughlin/Di Meola gangs. Recently I heard his CD Cedars of Avalon - the material is mainly standarts and tunes composed be jazzmen, the band is great: Cedar Walton, Billy Drummond, Buster Williams. Larry sounds like a refined mixture of Pat Martino and Wes, more relaxed and logical than in his fusion days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonF Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Larry was Guest of Honor at the Telluride Jazz Celebration a couple of weeks ago. He was also there the year before. Definitely active, recording and at the top of his game. This year with a killer trio, Lenny White and Mark Egan (of Pat Metheny bands). His new CD is TriCycles on In and Out Records with Egan and Paul Wertico. I agree about Cedars. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
