Saw Larry back in 1978 or 1979 at the Bijou Cafe in Philly. Good show, great technique.
RIP Larry.

i first saw him in '67 at the jazz festival in austin...he was playing with gary burton's (vibes) brand new quartet...he was 23--gary was 24...steve swallow on bass...gary had left stan getz to form his fusion group...gary and larry had really long hair, which was ok for rockers at the time but not so much for jazz crowd..the announcer who introduced them warned the audience not to judge them by their looks, which everyone did anyway...a few boos when the curtain came up..of course, they were just great...gary killed on a 10-minute solo performance of "misty"...all of the guys went on to separate stellar careers (gary with a 40-year partnership with chick corea) and eventually came full circle to record with gary again at some point...larry has a son, murali, who is a great guitarist in his own right...i bought his first CD and then haven't heard too much about him...larry was a great technician and instructor...he will be missed immensely...

Man, too young! What a loss.
A few years back a bass player and drummer I know were playing a local jazz gig in D.C. and a guy came up to the stage and asked if he could sit in. They weren't too sure about letting a stranger sit in until he said "I'm Larry Coryell". He sat in for a couple of sets. |
