I love the enigma Larry Coryell.The first truly influential of the Fusion guitar players in the mid to late sixties! He came just before Mclaughlin showed up and the great Sonny Sharrock appeared!The Gary Burton quartet with Coryell were one the first fusion units! Larry has a lot of different facets to his playing. His solos can go from bluesy, to flamenco, to bebop, to Hendrix inspired feedback and distortion. He is a Jazz musician that can switch from one style to another effortlessly! Legend
Young Larry the "mad improv scientist / explorer" He certainly brought some stuff out that had not been heard before. Truly an original. I am very great full for his music. Major part of my teen life. Great music and memories.
Great clip! Thnx for posting. Here's one from four years prior... 1967. An incredible glimpse of the fusion genre in germination. LARRY CORYELL-GARY BURTON 1967 Berlin
Actually, no I don't gotta love it - - Coryell was most probably under the influence on stage here, and that 'freak-out' didn't fit the performance at all. His book goes into the problems he had as an alcoholic and drug addict and how some nights he played like a screeching monkey. I think this is what's going on here, unfortunately. The look on Burton's face says it all, I think.

2.15-2.50 are the best 35 seconds in Guitar history.
Larry on some great dope, all of them are cooking
What a blast. Musical history in the making. Thanks for posting this vid. Hearing Coryell many years ago is what got me into jazz in the first place.
Larry at his most manic/driven/frenzied.
"28" at the time. Gary trying to keep it accessible.
thanks for going to the trouble of putting this together! fantastic.
brutal basslines
Like... Wow!!
Fairyland/Barefoot Boy era....the BEST. Gotta love the freak out guitar part.

How many guitarists have ever spanked a Gibson Super 400 like Larry ?
