Description

Larry Coryell

Coryell is making some of the most exhilarating, ballsiest music of his career. - Vintage Guitar Magazine

As one of the pioneers of jazz-rock -- perhaps the pioneer in the ears of some -- Larry Coryell deserves a special place in the history books. He brought what amounted to a nearly alien sensibility to jazz electric guitar playing in the 1960s, a hard-edged, cutting tone, phrasing and note-bending that owed as much to blues, rock and even country as it did to earlier, smoother bop influences.

Gerald and John Clayton

“The father-son connection works to create some real magic. They put together a straight-ahead jazz set that is both melodic and imaginative.” - BlogCritics.org

John and Gerald Clayton present father / son, bass / piano duo. This creative adventure was crowd-sourced as part of John Clayton’s “The Parlor Series” and a recent album release shares that name.
