I was visiting a friend in college and his roommate was playing the album, Lady Coryell, through MacIntosh tube equipment. I've been hooked on high-end - and Larry - ever since. He will be missed.

His set started out on acoustic guitar, and then the 2nd half consisted of electric (les paul) guitar. To be honest he was even better on acoustic (IMO), but the entire set was just great. His technique was, of course, amazing- but it was all in service to the music.

My all time favorite jazz guitar player. Nobody could play the blues like him. His playing on the debut album "the Dealer " with leader Chico Hamilton is amazing. Also enjoy his 60's playing in Gary Burtons group on RCA records. I love all of his recent recordings on chesky records and an acoustic album he did with an India violinist titled From the Ashes. Gone way to soon . R.I.P. Larry
