I saw him at the Dakota in Minneapolis a couple of years ago, accompanied by one of my favorite fusion drummers, Lenny White. Compared to an appearance there a few years before that, there was more of a connection with the audience and heart-felt, patient/thoughtful playing that came through. I suspect, as Chashmal said, he may have been dealt with some demons of his own.
Larry Coryell at Jazz Showcase in Chicago
I had the pleasure of seeing Larry Coryell with Paul Wertico last night at the jazz showcase. It was one of the best jazz guitar performances I have ever seen.
I didn't see any cameras when I was there but apparently someone was filming during his first set because I found this footage of the show on youtube this morning.
