The legendary versions of "Something for Wolfgang Amadeus," (first published inwards Guitar Player inwards the '70s) as well as "Improvisation on Bolero" are here, every bit good every bit "Elegancia Del Sol," Larry's sensational tribute to flamenco-master Paco De Lucia, the gorgeous French impressionist meditation "La Pluie," the Django Reinhardt means "Waltz No.6," as well as a whole bunch of fantastic blues as well as stone inspired pieces. There's also Brian Keane's "A Piece for Larry," (which Larry himself constitute also hard to play) 1 of the well-nigh complicated as well as beautiful acoustic guitar pieces I've e'er heard.
If you're a fan of nifty guitar playing as well as don't already ain this CD, y'all are suffering a SERIOUS lack; hurry upward as well as purchase this correct right away earlier your musical tastes atrophy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Larry is genuinely an underated jazz giant. Saw him late as well as Bolero on 6 string solo was genuinely amazing. Bolero is a virtuoso masterpiece.
When I asked Larry Coryell what CD "Bolero" was on afterwards 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 functioning of that 1 piece. The Bolero I heard that black was a trivial unlike than the 1 on the CD. It had a distinctly Indian season 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 meshwork together seamlessly. The spirit of the music is positive, warm, upbeat as well as blissful. It would locomote the perfect CD to head to spell sitting on a beach watching the waves gyre in. It gets played to a greater extent than than well-nigh of the CDS inwards my collection of over 600. I recommend it highly!
If y'all similar acoustic guitar playing of the highest caliber, hold off no further. You've never heard playing similar this...everything is played alone every bit expert every bit it has to locomote as well as left to breath. From flamenco influenced burners similar "Elegancia del Sol" to wonderfully eccentric classical improvisations, everything on this tape is a connoisseur's particular silent accessible to all who tin hear.
Among the well-nigh flexible of jazz guitarists, Larry Coryell performs x unaccompanied as well as largely acoustic solos as well as plays 4 duets alongside boyfriend guitarist Brian Keane (who has "A Piece for Larry" to himself). The intimate selections oft come upward across every bit improvised classical music (although all simply a twain of Ravel themes were composed past times 1 of the 2 guitarists), alongside Coryell emphasizing the beauty of his musical note as well as the melodic side of his style. This CD reissue was originally issued past times the German linguistic communication String label.
