Larry is really an underated jazz giant. Saw him latterly as well as Bolero on 6 string solo was really amazing. Bolero is a virtuoso masterpiece.
When I asked Larry Coryell what CD "Bolero" was on subsequently his blistering laid at the Tin Angel inwards Philadelphia he looked slightly perturbed past times my interrogation as well as answered "Bolero." I ordered the CD based on the surgical operation of that i piece. The Bolero I heard that black was a footling dissimilar than the i on the CD. It had a distinctly Indian flavour every bit if had been filtered through a Pakistani deli. I was blown away past times the slice inwards concert as well as waited alongside baited breath for the CD to arrive. I was non disappointed. "Bolero" is arguably the finest collection of virtuoso acoustic guitar wizardry I induce got e'er heard. Stylistically the CD veers betwixt classical, jazz, flamenco as well as fusion alongside elements of rock. Despite this melting pot of influences, all the tracks mesh together seamlessly. The spirit of the music is positive, warm, upbeat as well as blissful. It would endure the perfect CD to psyche to acre sitting on a beach watching the waves curlicue in. It gets played to a greater extent than than close of the CDS inwards my collection of over 600. I recommend it highly!
