- Larry Coryell was an American jazz guitarist dubbed the "Godfather of Fusion".
Coryell was born in Texas. He graduated High School in Richland, Washington where he played in local bands. He then moved to Seattle to attend the University of Washington. He played in a number of popular bands, including the Dynamics, while living in Seattle.
In 1965, Coryell moved to New York City and became part of Chico Hamilton's quintet. His music during the late 60s and early 70s combined the influences of rock, jazz, and eastern music.
Larry Coryell is a major guitar influence and has played with the most respected musicians in the industry. RIP

I had the pleasure of taking lessons with Larry... "The Great". Not just an amazing guitarist, but one hell of an amazing guy! Such an unpredictable sence of humor. And just right down to earth, good friend. Love you, and miss you very much, Larry. May your voice live on for a thousand years!
Had the pleasure to talking with him a few years after a California Guitar Trio show in Chicago. Chatted, told him how I’d seen him perform a solo guitar version of Stavinsky’s Rite of Spring at the Bottom Line in NYC back in ‘81. He actually remembered that gig. Then chatted again with him after a gig he played at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago. He was the friendliest, nicest guy!! And an unbelievable monster player. I was so sad to hear of his passing only a few months after I last saw him. RIP Larry
Me from gary ,close to chicago so that cool
The most ambitious guitarist ever! When he passed away, he was writing an opera based on "War and Peace"! 😳
Great guitarist, wonderful man. I feel honored to have known him, even if it was briefly.
Such an elegant person. Worldly, kind and generous. So thankful for the time he took to talk with me and my wife.
Larry , one of the if not the most important guitarist of his generation .
I saw him in the DC area playing with, “The Eleventh House” in the mid 70’s and they were beyond sensational!
FIVE STARS!
😎
PS. I think they opened up for, “Return To Forever”!
That jam towards the end with Cindy Blackman was insane.😱
'Cindy is burnin'
The last clip is from a performance of "Kowloon Jazz" in 2013. He just got better and better. You can find the original here on YT. The blurb says they filmed the whole show. "Here, we see and hear him in a performance last fall at Yoshi’s jazz club in Oakland, California. His colleagues are his son Julian Coryell, guitar; Cindy Blackman Santana, drums; George Brooks, soprano saxophone; and Gary Brown, electric bass." - news.allaboutjazz.com/larry-coryell-is-gone
Lucky enough to have seen Larry twice here in Indy and actually got to talk to him the second time. Super nice guy.
Saw him and the eleventh house in NYC Town Hall as the second act in a show with Michal Urbaniaks Fusion and the headliner was Roy Buchanan. The one performance I’ll never forget was the all star jam to end the night, Newport Jazz @ Saratoga, ‘78. Dizzy Gillespie and many others played Night in Tunisia and when it was Larrys’ turn, he busts out an homage to Jimi Hendrix and gets a standing ovation. (Dexter Gordon, Sonny Rollins, Michael Brecker, Randy Brecker, George Benson, Al Jarreau, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Tony Williams, to name a few)
The first clip!
That is one big guitar.
It is a Gibson "Super 400" archtop guitar model. It measures 18" or 19" across the lower bout. A jazz big box for sure.
Dang! That 2nd clip is Zappa ish for sure!!🎶🎶
Thank you for this....I'll be adding this to one of the playlists on Larry's Official TH-cam Channel ...Tracey c
Thanks so much for this compendium of Cornell solos.
Gracias Sr. Coryell por toda su musica.
Does anyone here realize Larry was a student of John LaChapelle? John was an extremely talented guitarist. He and my dad, Fred Rogers, played guitar vack in the 60's.
Good for your dad, Patricia.
Yes, he was Larry's first guitar teacher. He mentions that in his autobiography, "Improvising."
I met him a few times and he was very approachable and friendly.
A great guy and a fabulous player!
Love the drummer, too!
Sad the problems he had in mid career but who knows. We have Spaces, one of the most beautiful instrumental albums of all time. I’ll never forget the first thing I heard which was an album called The Restful Mind. Pioneer of chill and ambient in its own way.
RIP Mr Coryell , I'm really wondering why you didn't include the legendary acoustic solos , the best guitar tune and solos .
Thank you so much we appreciate this video.
Familiar with all these solos nice to listen to them all together like this. Demonstrates Coryell's brilliance nicely!. Thank you!
Right on ya all!
It's great! Thanks a lot!! From BRAZIL!!!
I remember Larry told in an interview that in his later years he didn't have his usual speed. In the last video it looks like he didn't lose it.
Master!!!
What's the clip at the end? Everyone's really losing it, fantastic.
It was "Kowloon Jag", with Cindy Blackman on drums. No idea of the venue. Sax player might have been Dave Liebman, but I won't testify to that in court.
@@lesnyk255 It was at Yoshi's in Oakland California, George Brooks on Sax. I was there, totally awesome!
Gal super drummer.

Hairy Coryell
The guitar in that first clip is just plain huge! What is it?
I loved all the clips apart from the last one.
That guitar in the first video is humongous! Looks as big as an acoustic bass! He, and other cats like Pat Metheny and even Wes Montgomery got some great tone out of such giant axes, but damn, they make the player look tiny in comparison. I guess as aesthetics became such a big part of the music scene, it kind of did away with that, in favor of the Les Pauls, flying V’s and such. Tiny guitars make people feel bigger, eh?
It is a Gibson "Super 400" archtop model. The top of the line in Gidson archtops. Measures 18" or 19" across lower bout. Lovely instruments.
So it wasn’t just my eyes. That thing is huge. How did his back feel after a gig?
Robert Fripp has always played sitting down as have quite a few jazzers.
@@J.Dove3D beautiful looking, indeed, but made for a very large man
Is that Donald Harrison (sax) at 4:01 ?
yes
Is the first clip from a Chico Hamilton gig? And what’s the tune they’re playing? It kind of sounds familiar.
Actually, on second thought, it must be Gary Burton. The drummer doesn’t look like Chico- plus the vibraphone.
0:15 Check out the size of that jazzbox! Might be best described as a jazz doghouse.
Ah yes the beautiful Super 400.
Anyone know what that second song is?
not sure which tune but its from 11th house ... brecker on trumpet
Funky Waltz, studio version is on the 1st 11th house record, (1974). Can't help thinking he got bit by Weather Report's Boogie Woogie Waltz (1973) a little bit.
Funky Waltz, written by the drummer, Alphonse Mouzon
Later in life he became a spy and worked under the name of Austin Powers
The secret to his talent is the fact he was born in Texas.
4:03. Overhyped rock drummers like Neil Pert can't hang with this 😖
🙃
I do not get what anybody likes about his playing. Stiff, unimaginative and deadly boring. He misses a lot, has questionable chops and fails to build interesting melodic lines.
lollll that first geetar thought it was a joke! size of a boat!! wtf
Super 400 or something - 18 inch bout, the same as the largest of the gibson acoustics.
tiny 60s looking neck, too.
Had the pleasure to talking with him a few years after a California Guitar Trio show in Chicago. Chatted, told him how I’d seen him perform a solo guitar version of Stavinsky’s Rite of Spring at the Bottom Line in NYC back in ‘81. He actually remembered that gig.
