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.

I saw him a few years back at the Detroit Jazz fest with a bass player and drummer from Pat Metheny's band. They were excellent. As tight as I have ever heard. They had us rocking with an infectious rythm that kept progressing to cresendos, much like Metheny in concert.

Afterwards they talked to the audience. One guy reached out to shake Larry's hand and he went to hand him his guitar! Talk about friendly!
