Autumn Leaves (Larry Coryell, Larry Carlton, Abercrombie, Scofield, and Tal Farlow)

[West LA Jazz]

Thoroughly enjoyable performance! Interesting to see that all these players vocabulary was fully formed at this recording. And Sco had hair! Ha.

That's the only time I've ever seen Coryell play his Borys.

[Rob MacKillop]

Some serious posing going on there :-)

I /ve transcribed nice all solo of Scof...great feel.

[Average Joe]

That is one hell of a solo by Sco. Abercrombie do some interesting things as well

[West LA Jazz]

Tal Farlow's guitar sound used to sound magical back in the day and then these guys with pedals showed up. I still like hearing the old sound in the right context and then sometimes, it sounds very box-y and unsettling. Fangled modern equipment! ;-)

That's the only time I've ever seen Coryell play his Borys.

I didn't know it was a Borys. The headstock + fleur de lis looked like a Yamaha to me.
How much do those Borys go for these day? I think Remler played one.

Scof solo 1st chorus...

[Rob MacKillop]

It's amazing how tonal Sco can be, yet still sound fresh. I remember him once playing a C Major scale in his usual slightly mumbling way, it was like I'd never heard C Major scale before. He definitely has his own voice, that's for sure.

Most definitely unique. I'm guessing it's a priceless asset to have.

Coryell and Remler were living together back then. They were both junkies. They both had their own B-120s.

I liked the sound Coryell got out of it, except when it was too treble sounding in the beginning. He swung more than the other guys, so I enjoyed his solo the most, even though he had to go into his crowd pleasing tremolo thing. Tal was pretty much shot at that point. I'm glad I didn't go to that concert.

I bought a B-120 from someone on this forum for $3650 about 13 years ago. Today, Roger sells them for 5K.
Paul Bollenback, Vic Juris and Tony DeCaprio recently bought B-120s. Bollenback has a Borys Jazz Solid also, that he uses for louder gigs.

I did NOT know that Coryell and Remler were lovers. Lucky him! LOL
I messed up earlier. I was referring to Albercrombie's guitar as looking like a Yamaha.

Coryell KNOWS how to get a crowd going with simple devices. It's a great skill in my opinion. The audience matters.

I also think the world of Vic Juris's playing. He has a duet CD with a young Birelli Lagrane. My goodness he swings hard on there. More than keeps up with Birelli. Plus Juris has taught me a lot via his DVDs and has more teaching to do once I get around to it. Some of his wide triadic chord voicings. Magic. He said he had to play stuff like that with Liebman.

If you haven't seen this before...this too is great (parts of which relate to this topic) but the overall instructs us in what we want to do most.. improvise.

[SamBooka]

I so want to find something interesting from Coryell but everything leaves me sort of .. meh..

[Flat]

I grew up playing acoustic flat-tops. Martins. Singer-songwriter stuff.

This Coryell album is one of the first "jazz" albums I bought--because he played an acoustic.

Certainly not traditional jazz, but I dug in a lot back around 1980 or so. Not everyone's cup of tea though, no doubt.

[jaco]

Larry has another acoustic album called "Private Concert" with him solo and with Vic Juris on a few cuts. It's got some great playing on it.

I have definitely lifted some of his chord voicings that have expanded my knowledge of the fretboard so I have to thank Larry Coryell. No shame to my game! LOL

[sgcim]

I saw Larry and Vic play an outdoor concert in Queens back in the 80s. It was raining, so they played an acoustic set where they just played pentatonic scales as fast as they could on nylon string guitars.

Then when it stopped raining, Larry played some straight blues with distorted electric guitar.

I like Larry's "Spaces" LP the best of all his records. Great fusion.

Understood.

Try Tricyles.

Great playing. Downbeat gave it 4 stars "at the top of his game".

I like Coryell's Shining Hour album as one of his more straight ahead outings

[kris]

I am not a fun of LC straight ahead standards playing. ...but some of his solo guitar recordings are really great.

For moi? It's when he plays acoustic with Di Lucia & Co. Some of his chord voicings are simply… voila!!!

precision...?

precision...?

Nice track. Ulf's guitar tone has always grabbed me too.

Precision? That too. Coryell also does some nice chord changes on slower songs with beautiful tones that tie the progressions together.

Thanks for posting!! ;-)
