-------------------------------------------------------------------------
As one of the pioneers of jazz-rock -- perhaps the pioneer in the ears of some -- Larry Coryell deserves a special place in the history books. He brought what amounted to a nearly alien sensibility to jazz electric guitar playing in the 1960s, a hard-edged, cutting tone, phrasing and note-bending that owed as much to blues, rock and even country as it did to earlier, smoother bop influences. Yet as a true eclectic, armed with a brilliant technique, he is comfortable in almost every style, covering almost every base from the most decibel-heavy, distortion-laden electric work to the most delicate, soothing, intricate lines on acoustic guitar. Unfortunately, a lot of his most crucial electric work from the '60s and '70s is missing on CD, tied up by the erratic reissue schemes of Vanguard, RCA and other labels, and by jazz-rock's myopically low level of status in the CD era (although that mindset is slowly changing).
According to Coryell, his interest in jazz took hold at the age of four, and after his family moved from Galveston to the state of Washington three years later, he began to learn the guitar, studying records by Tal Farlow, Barney Kessel and Johnny Smith. As a teenager, he played in a band led by pianist Mike Mandel, and by 1965, he gave up his journalism studies at the University of Washington in order to try his luck in New York as a musician. Before the year was out, he attracted much attention jamming in Greenwich Village and replaced Gabor Szabo in Chico Hamilton's band. In 1966, he made a startling recorded debut on Hamilton's The Dealer album, where his blues and rock ideas came to the fore, and that year, he also played with a proto-jazz-rock band, the Free Spirits. Coryell's name spread even further in 1967-68 when he played with Gary Burton's combo, and he was one of the most prominent solo voices on Herbie Mann's popular Memphis Underground album (recorded in 1968). He, Mandel and Steve Marcus formed a group called Foreplay in 1969 (no relation to today's Fourplay), and by 1973, this became the core of the jazz-rock band Eleventh House, which after a promising start ran aground with a string of albums of variable quality.
In 1975, Coryell pulled the plug, concentrating on acoustic guitar and turning in a prolific series of duo and trio sessions with the likes of Philip Catherine, Emily Remler, John Scofield, Joe Beck, Steve Khan and John McLaughlin. In the mid-'80s, Coryell toured with McLaughlin and Paco DeLucia, and in 1986 participated in a five-way guitar session with his old idol Farlow, Scofield, Larry Carlton and John Abercrombie for the Jazzvisions series. Coryell has also recorded with Stephane Grappelli, Charles Mingus, Sonny Rollins and Kenny Barron, and has taped Brazilian music with Dori Caymmi for CTI, mainstream jazz for Muse, solo guitar for Shanachie and Acoustic Music, and (for Nippon Phonogram in Japan) an album of classical transcriptions of music by Stravinsky and Rimsky-Korsakov. In other words, Coryell will probably remain as eclectic as ever throughout his career, which will no doubt make life difficult for musicologists with a yen for pigeonholing. Coryell's career in the 21st century has been just as active. 2004 saw the release of Tricycles, an excellent trio date with drummer Paul Wertico and bassist Mark Egan. Electric from 2005 found Coryell playing jazz standards and rock anthems with Lenny White on drums and Victor Bailey on electric bass. In 2006, he released the performance album Laid Back & Blues: Live at the Sky Church in Seattle.
Larry Coryell was one of my biggest inspiration. One of a kind top guitar master...
Can you describe the type of rig he uses to get this tone?
I've just learned today that Larry suddenly passed away from heart failure. It is so beautiful, and in same time very tearful moment to watch/listen the Master and his offspring sharing the stage and enjoying each other playing. There is surely a glow of pride on Larry's face during Julian's solo. Tears, tears and more tears mixed with joy ... Go figure...
the proud glow of Father Larry listening to son Jullian
is awesome...
Holy cow! That es335 is the best sound on the planet earth
I was introduced to Mr Larry Carlton back in 2014. He was very complimentary of my smooth jazz album that he invited me to jam with him. I was so elated
The joy Larry must feel listening to his son just rip it up. Rest In Peace Larry
Wow! I never knew this video existed until today, five days after Larry's passing. I used to hang out at this bar in the early to mid 1970s when I when I was in college and still living in Rockland County. This was before they had live music there. (We called it O'D's) Amazing how much Larry's sons play like him and look like he did back in the '60s when he was much younger and just establishing himself. So sad to hear about his passing. At 73 he wasn't that old and not much older than I am now. I saw him several times here in New Orleans, the last of which was at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in the spring of 2003. He was accompanying the late jazz flutist Herbie Mann in a "Memphis Underground" reunion that would turn out to be Herbie's last concert. He died two months later. What a memorable event that was! Herbie came up on stage hooked up to his oxygen tanks and bravely gave it the best he could in his seriously ailing condition. And now all three of the principals in that concert are gone, the other one being David "Fathead" Newman. I'll be posting more memories of Larry and links to some of my favorite songs by him on my Facebook page. RIP Larry. You were one of the best!!!
R.I.P. my friend. Late dinner at the dugout in 1972 will always be fondly remembered.
Julian is as gifted as his father was.... Rip Larry.
Que músico fantástico!! Hoje assiste um show dele quando mais jovem com dois GRANDES GÊNIOS (PACO DE LUCIA e john McLAUGHIN, fiquei encantado eles conversando através dos solos maravilhosos que saiam dos violões.PARABÉNS!!!!!!!!! VIVA A BOA MÚSICA!!!!!!!!
Larry is such a huge guitar figure yet his sons sure don't suffer under his rep.
Superb. A great musician!
The Great Larry Coryell!!!!!
Larry is the man!
Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr. C. I always behold you as my friend. I'll look you up next time I fly in to the states.
So nice......thanks for sharing.
Julian is Beast on Guitar
To me he sounded as though he had lost his way, at least at first. Coryell's genius is that no matter how he diverts from the original melody, the musical ideas he produces are equal or better. I'm so used to seeing Coryell in history-making videos that this, although quality is excellent, doesn't quite reach that bar.
So much 'information' in what Larry is playing.
Buenos recuerdos del 70 cumpleaños de larry en familia, muy bueno el bajista daryl johns.
Fantastic! Thank you so very much for posting--very entertaining.
whoa!
Triple Threat! excellent playing all around
That ES 335 is pure bliss. kid a chip off the block. this is stellar..
OOOH YES !!! Thank you very much !!! :D
Great work Lawrence, Larry is the reason I got into Jazz back in the 70s and it's great to see his sons turned out to be such talents as well! Only one thing is you didn't put the date of his B-day anywhere in the title or description, hehe. It's the most crucial info in this whole presentation. Thanks!!
Wow. just fkn wow...
That upright sounds killer, bassist has great phrasing
💛🌸🌱

all the wonderful full bodied jazz guitars for sale and available in
America i.e. vintage D'Angelicos' n Gibsons etc and Larry plays a really
tinny sounding rock n roll guitar for his Jazz spot...go figure.

Quite a note show. :)

Larry Coryell est décédé le 19 de ce mois, peu après Alphonse Mouzon
avec qui il a joué. Je suis un inconditionnel depuis près de 40 ans. Une
grande perte pour la musique.
moi aussi Georges depuis "Duster " c'est fabuleux !
great upload +33 who's the brunette guy on the cherry ES-335? Hes rippin shit up!
Taylor Northern
Thay would be Julian Coryell, one of Larry's sons. His other son, Murali, is playing the thinline Tele with the humbucker. Murali's strength is in playing a more traditional blues style.
Great player, nice playing by his sons, but man did Larry’s tone suck on this gig. Oh well. RIP Larry, we miss yo7.
murali is the best.
sounds like moanin'
Larry is the man !!!
