Guitarist Larry Coryell merged with the infinite suddenly this past Sunday. Coryell was a big influence on me after discovering his "Lady Coryell" album in the early 1970s during my time DJing at WJSV. Here's a tribute to one of my favorite guitarists.

I had a feeling I could count on you for a nice Larry Coryell tribute, Irene.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:06pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

RIP Larry. His son, Murali Coryell, comes around these parts occasionally.
  9:07pm
Mark R:

Started off with a good one, too.

Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Ah - gittars - for a sad reason. Appreciate this - as Larry Coryell's has always been held in high deference amongst guitarists - but I confess my ignorance of the facts & details of his accomplishments, & I think I'm not quite alone in that. The common tag is he's a Father of Fusion...So, Thanks.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:08pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...his *name...
  9:11pm
Mark R:

He started out as a fairly straight-ahead jazz guitarist, Rev, but then he heard Hendrix in 1966 (I think before he was famous, when he was playing in the Village), and it opened his mind to all kinds of possibilities. Irene's starting with a couple of seminal examples--early recordings that kind of sum up his greatness--a true fusion of jazz, rock, blues, even country styles. And yes, he played LOUD.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:14pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Thx Mark R. Hear that & connect to it immediately. Seems a fair guess that he hasn't been played & heard like say McLaughlin (even tho' a close collaborator) because he didn't appeal as easily to a specific Genre Market - the very reason he may interest - some of 'us'...
  9:16pm
Mark R:

Irene can correct me on this, but I believe he played WITH McLaughlin on that first track. Yes, he's sadly been somewhat overlooked. Although, interestingly enough, I was just talking about him to Jeff Conklin a few weeks ago, and he said, "Not overlooked by ME." Although I haven't heard Jeff play him on his show.
  9:16pm
Mark R:

Nice of you to go back for one of the Chico Hamilton tracks, Irene
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:21pm
Irene Trudel:

Hi All! I felt it appropriate to pay tribute to Larry Coryell, whose music I discovered through my HS radio station .He was a big influence on me. Saw him play live a number of times over the years. Yes, Mark, Larry did play with McLaughlin on Spaces. The album collaboration predates the Mahavishnu Orchestra by two years. So I'm going to dive into Coryell's music for a while tonight.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:22pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...I read 'true fusion of jazz, rock, blues, even country' - & I think Danny Gatton - but this is nothing of that kind!...I think a lot of Guitarists would like to *believe* they have such a range! Gatton started @ Rockabilly, & sounds like Coryell starts solidly from Jazz & moves from there...I'll see where we go here!
  9:23pm
Mark R:

Love it, and I can't think of a better person to do it. I was in high school too, and had an older brother who was into Hendrix, Cream et. al and then one day Mahavishnu and Coryell appeared on the scene, the logical next step. I still think they're all great.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:33pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Fusion was actually fairly popular in the early 70s I think - but had a hard time finding favor w/ either camp since. Rawk went thru Punk & still is suspicious of 'Musos' - & Jazz had a rebirth w/ the fairly Straight-Ahead 'young lions' (there were undergrounds that liked crime or aggro Jazz relating actually to Punk &tc.) Among players & real music junkies - there's appreciation of Artists w/ both dynamics & king-sized chops...Fusion gets blamed for SmoothJazz & the neutering of what Jazz really is - but this here clearly has nothing to do w/ that!
  9:39pm
Mark R:

"Coryell" is a particular favorite of mine...he wasn't a very good singer, but he pulls it off on these tracks.
  9:39pm
Mark R:

I saw him one time where he also played PIANO believe it or not--also not his strong suit. But he was brave, I'll give him that.
  9:42pm
Vinnie:

Treats Style. From Lady Coryell. If you feel like it.
  9:47pm
Mark R:

You're really playing all my favorite Coryell tunes, Irene! Also used to really enjoy "At the Village Gate" and another live album recorded at Montreux with Pretty Purdie on drums called "Fairyland." Pretty sure that one's out of print now, though.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:48pm
pantz:

Not to hijack this great guitar stream, but has anyone seen Bill Frisell live? That's on my bucket list.
  9:49pm
Mark R:

Saw him last fall at the Blue Note, pants. Really enjoyed it. He always does a really cool version of a pop tune, like the night I saw him I think he did the Beach Boys' "Surfer Girl."
  9:50pm
Mark R:

Pantz sorry!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:51pm
pantz:

Right on @Mark! I'd love to hear him but unfortunately I'm in one of them fly-over states.
  9:52pm
Mark R:

He's going to be in Carmel, Indiana on April 20th.
  9:52pm
Peter K.:

I'm loving the Larry Fest. Your choices are inspired. He really was one of the greats, wasn't he?
  9:53pm
Snake:

I've seen Frisell twice and Coryell once. Frisell was always good but Larry was legendary. I'm shocked he's gone.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:54pm
Irene Trudel:

pantz, I've seen Bill Frisell many times in concert and recorded him a few times for WNYC. He's fabulous and well worth seeing. Mark, I also saw Larry Coryell at the Blue Note, as I said, dueting with Vic Juris, and Pat Martino was on the same bill. A magical night!
  9:55pm

Chicago April 21st, KC 4/22, Hopkins Minnesota 4/25, St. Louis 4/28

Any of these near you, Pantz?

I heard a great interview with a Ravel biographer that said the composer was slowly losing his memory and that was why Bolero is basically the same stanza repeated over and over.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:27pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Starting to think comparing Coryell to McLaughlin is (in a different area) like comparing Page to Beck: They're close - but like siblings, they took paths to distinguish themselves from each other - relating to their natural inclinations too: One went w/ developing content via varied inspirations, while the other focused more specifically on pure technical playing. I say DiMeola may have a slight speed advantage on McLaughlin - even tho' McLaughlin is more disciplined then nearly anyone there's ever been - but McLaughlin didn't let it make him 'cold'. Now in a way - I'm surprised Coryell wasn't as well-known generally as McLaughlin - because altho' he's technically stunning also - he seems even closer to broad inspirations & feeling - relating to the anecdote that it was Hendrix directly who set him on another path...I think - in a way, Jazz was Horn music, banjos early on were loud enuff to keep a Rhythm - & the Electric Guitar has been eyed w/ suspicion: stick to your archtops & WesMontgomery tone or be fined - tho' BillFrissell ferinstance (a master of tones) illustrates how old hat that is by now - it has had to evolve in people's heads for decades...
