Larry Coryell Power Trio
Featuring Mark Egan And Paul Wertico
Among the most gifted soloists to emerge since the 1960s, guitarist Larry Coryell (b. 1943) brilliantly improvises and adeptly synthesizes styles, from classical to jazz, blues, country, and rock 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. This week his band consists of founding members of The legendary Pat Metheny Group. Mark Egan on bass, Paul Wertico on drums.
