Weak. Not pathetic weak. Not totally ignore it weak either. Just your ordinary garden variety weak.
“ the most important thing to keep in mind ( if you have one ): If we can do it, so can you “. 

There, how difficult was that ?

n > 30 is so easy to achieve in sunny So Cal, record stores abound...and Discogs does the rest...

Cotton Jones - Paranoid Cocoon. CD (I Love this)
I wish I could find this on Vinyl for less than 100 bucks .
Everybody wants 150-200 bucks for Vinyl version 😢


Not sue how I got to Italicized either




@keegiam, cool!  I think @noromance , a frequent poster here, is also into Larry Coryell.  I have just a handful of his records.  That one was my first and remains my favorite.   I also really like his digital recordings on The Chesky label.  You’re right on about his playing and how it appeals.  Are you a 12-string player too?
I’m leaving this silly thread and heading over to the streamer app to look for this mythical and elusive Cotton Jones character...
Stan Getz Quartet Featuring Astrud Gilberto ‎– Getz Au Go Go (Verve 1964)
Jim - yeah, it’s a little obscure.   It’s cool though and for about $2 you can get a you-were-there experience of his late 70’s acoustic period live solo concerts.  This was after he made that kinda noisy (but good) electric stuff you’ve probably heard that is said to typify the roots of Jazz Fusion but before he made all those duo and trio records that are so well respected for the musicianship.  I run across it a lot in the bins.  
So this Cotton Jones kinda reminds me of Alla-Las and a few other bands I can’t remember the name of.  I like it.   I know it can seem melancholy but the irony is to me pretty laugh out loud funny.

and back to regular programming, today featuring the music of Wayne Shorter...


Steve Khan
Evidence
Arista 1980




@spiritofradio Hats off to your memory.

Larry Coryell / Philip Catherine ‎– Twin-House (Elektra 1977)
So, It’s cool when you read a review or an article in the respectable print about an old record you have and the writer has something good to say.  Today I read about a set of acoustic guitar records (three principally) highlighted in a piece in Absolute Sound and I had all three and played them today (the Larry Coryell included) and it was good.  
Although he might not be as crazy fast and cerebral as Larry Coryell, that Steve Khan plays a beautiful guitar.  
Turning in.  Hope you all had a happy Easter. 
last one for me also...

Natalie M - Motherland

Vaccine shot #2 on the morrow, red letter day....
Larry and Steve also put some of their duets on "Two for the Road" (Arista, 1977).  I've been enjoying that one as well as "Twin House" with Catherine for around 40 years.  There was also "Tributaries" with Larry, John Scofield and Joe Beck going trio in '79.  I will have to find that Steve Khan solo effort on Arista.

As you know guys know, Side 1 of "European Impressions" was recorded live at Montreux; the video production of that performance is on YouTube with some great close-ups of Coryell's fingers darting in and out of complex chord structures in split seconds.

If you can find it (I only have it on CD), "Acoustic Reflections" was released in 1976.  A nice collection of solo Coryell that was broadcast on radio in Mass.

@spiritofradio - I never played 12 string as I was not even very good at 6 and stopped playing back in the 90's.
This is a gem too. 

Eddie Cleanhead Vinson Featuring Larry Coryell ‎– You Can't Make Love Alone (Philips 1971)
Brubeck & Desmond - 1975:  The Duets.  This is pretty beat up and headed for the bin.  Not a bad listen though.

@petg60

If you haven’t yet, check out Magico by the same Gismonti et al ECM lineup. Equally as wonderful as Folk Songs.
@tomic601 
Thanks for the heads up on Cotton Jones.
I am still not sure I want to spend that much either .Surely they will re-issue at some point ?????
Supertramp Night......Crime of the Century, Crisis what crisis, Even in the Quietest Moments, Breakfast in America.  Great memories from Supertramps Heyday!  I’m thinking Crisis, What Crisis is going to LeapFrog over Crime of the Century as my new #1.
tomic601.......I was listening to Claptons Just One Night a few days ago and was reminded just how good that LP is!
@ghosthouse , @petg60, I’m also a big fan of Gismonti and have posted about him here recently.  If you don’t have his “Sanfona” album, urge you to check it out (both disks, they’re different from each other) I think it’s his best.  I often suggest it to fans of Pat Metheny.   Gismonti is a great talent.  
Thanks for the suggestion @spiritofradio 

I will see if I can find Sanfona on Tidal to get a "trial" listen.  
I have a few other LPs by him on , but not that one.

@petg60 - Magico is worth tracking down.
