=-> Quoting Thomas Kraetschmer re: jazz guitar - fusion:
 TK> Anyone in here who knows more about Larry Coryell?
   I first heard him in about 1972 and saw him perform live in about
 1974, but I haven't seen him again since then.  I do have quite a few
 of his albums, though.  He's an extremely talented guitarist, but
 during the 60s and early 70s he seemed to be a bit inconsistent, both
 on record, and in live performance.  I would particularly avoid the
 albums on which he sings.  ;-)
   Some of his early work is jazz/rock fusion.  The best of these are
 probably _The Real Great Escape_, and _Introducing the Eleventh House_.
   Among my other favourite Larry Coryell albums are the acoustic duets
 with Phillip Catherine on the albums, _Splendid_ and _Twin House_.
 Those two teamed up again on a wonderful tribute to Django Reinhardt
 called, _Young Django_.  The album also features Django's original Hot
 Club Quintet cohort Stephane Grappelli on violin, and the superb bass
 work of Neils-Henning Orsted-Pederson.
   I can highly recommend any of those albums.  Unfortunately, I haven't
 heard anything that Coryell has done since the early 1980s.  I believe 
 that a couple of his recent albums have received favourable reviews, 
 but I can't offer any first hand opinions beyond the ones above.
      Cheers,
               Martin
