| Please check out the Larry Coryell article on AllAboutJazz.com Larry Coryell:Making The Changes "This is all Coltrane, from his early/middle/late period, whatever that means!" laughs guitarist Larry Coryell. He is sitting backstage in the green room at Iridium in 2009, describing a chart he is about to try out with organist Joey DeFrancesco. "And then this part here is very much like 'All Blues,' like Miles," he says, humming the line: "Bah-deh-doo-deh, DAY-deh-doo-dee, doo-dah-doo-dah, duh—it's in that same chord, that same mode." Indicating the next section, he continues, "And then it goes, here, into something more like Stan Kenton, there [pointing] and then it gets into an implied 12-tone fugue later on here," he says, singing the part: "Bah-doo-dah-duh, bah-doo-dah-DAH, doo-dah dah, doo-dah dah, dah-dah—like that." The chart, a so-called 'production number,' serves as a microcosm of Coryell's career . . . . (more) |  |  |

In Memory Of . . .
I want to mention to our visitors to the website
a personal anniversary, September 3, 1965; that was the day I arrived in New York from
Seattle to begin my jazz guitar career in earnest. That night I went to the Village
Vanguard to hear the Charles Lloyd Quartet. In the club, I happened to sit next to
another young guitarist--his name was Joe Beck. Little did I know it that it was the
beginning of a great friendship. Joe was one of the best musicians I ever knew--he
could play great guitar, was an accomplished arranger, and an amazing composer. He was
also one of the greatest human beings I have encountered in my lifetime. Joe passed
away after fighting a long illness in late July--and I'm glad that Tracey and I
and my son Murali were able to visit him at his home in Connecticut in April of this
year. Ironically, Hiram Bullock, another great friend and outstanding musician, died
around the same time that Joe passed. The loss of two great artists almost
simultaneously is really too much to bear, but in my sorrow I have to make sure these
two great men get mentioned, not only for all the stellar work they did with music, but
for their unique humanity. As a a rule, great artists are also great people, and Joe
and Hiram were no execption. They were both very, very funny. It's important to
have a healthy sense of humor in our business. I never had the opportunity to record
with Hiram, but I did do several recordings with Joe, most notably an Arista three-
guitar release called "Tributaries", along with John Scofield. Joe wrote a
song for that date called "Mother's Day." It is a great tune; I'll
never forget it, and I'll never forget Joe. The same "unforgettable"
quality goes also for Hiram: I once saw him go up on stage to sit in with Doctor John
and his group at Buddy Guy's in Chicago and Hiram performed as if he had been in
the group his whole life--I mean, he sang all the background parts, played perfect
guitar fills, and even did a little show-biz dance-type moves to augment the Night
Tripper's "gri-gris" Cajun groove. Hiram, like Joe, will be sorely
missed. The only way I can deal with these losses is to pretend to myself that both
Joe and Hiram are out of town on an extended tour, and when that tour is over,
they'll be back. Here's a prayer to their swift return . . . .

I give up - can't figure out this Download Card stuff.
How does one get a valid pin? Is a CD of these sessions going to be availble?
