Larry Coryell: Tricycles
by John Kelman
Why guitarist Larry Coryell isn’t a bigger name is a mystery. Emerging in the ‘60s around the same time as John McLaughlin, Coryell’s forays into fusion actually predate McLaughlin’s, first fusing jazz with rock and country sensibilities in Gary Burton’s quartet, most notably on ‘67’s Duster and Lofty Fake Anagram. McLaughlin and Coryell even duked it ...
CAB: CAB 4
by Todd S. Jenkins
One of fusion’s finest supergroups has jumped ship to Steve Vai’s label and continued a steady climb to the top of the ranks. Jazz-rock veteran Brian Auger has become a regular fixture of CAB now, and the addition of guest Patrice Rushen on five tracks of this new disc only adds to the band’s hot, soulful ...

Eric Sardinas: Black Pearls
by C. Michael Bailey
It has been noted in the music media that Seattle-based Grunge rock and subsequent movements have killed the guitar hero. Kurt Cobain? Please, he was fair as a garage rock guitarist. Pearl Jam? Nothing special, they are all Eddie Vedder. Mark Tremonti of Creed and Staind’s Michael Mushok play no lead guitar, satisfied with playing in ...
