Исполнитель: Larry Coryell Название альбома: Laid Back & Blues Год выпуска: 2006, Rhombus Records Формат файлов: Mp3, 320 Размер архива: 141 Mb Скачать с: dfiles Laid Back & Blues finds journeyman jazz guitarist Larry Coryell performing live with his quartet at the Sky Church in Seattle, WA. Backing Coryell here are pianist Mark Seales, bassist Chuck Deardorf, and drummer Dean Hodges. Also joining in for an inspired off-the-cuff take on Tracy Chapman's "Gimme One Reason" is vocalist Tracey Piergross. Throughout, Coryell does a nice job of mixing in such jazz standards as "Body and Soul" and "Straight No Chaser" alongside his more contemporary and challenging compositions including "The Dragon's Grate" and the pretty midtempo ballad "Tracy." This is an intimate-sounding album that truly showcases Coryell's superb post-bop style and deft guitar technique. Matt Collar, AMG
Larry Coryell honed his guitar chops as a teenager and college student on the Seattle music scene, so somehow it seems appropriate that his latest recording captures him in concert in his hometown at Sky Church, the concert venue at the Experience Music Project.
Backed by some of the top musicians on the Seattle jazz scene-pianist Marc Seales, bassist Chuck Deardorf and drummer Dean Hodges-Coryell shines on this live set, vibrantly captured in Sky Church’s pristine acoustics. For the most part, Coryell focuses on originals throughout. The opener, “No More Booze Minor Blues,” proves he can still burn up the frets with lightning speed and immaculate technique. Coryell’s lyrical, laid-back side comes out on the lovely ballad “Tracey,” and he showcases his acoustic chops on a solo version of “Denver in April.”
Fans of early fusion-era Coryell should check out “The Dragon’s Gate” for some fiery licks that recall his ’70s band Eleventh House. Add sparkling covers of “Straight, No Chaser” and “Body and Soul,” a guest vocal by Tracey Piergross on “Gimme One Reason” and even a Coryell vocal on “Rock Me Baby” and you’ve got a session that captures the leader’s multiple talents.
