These are great musicians loving the great music they make---nice, sweet, jazz, with ALL OFTHE INSTRUMENTS PROMINENT AND CLEARLY HEARD! I think they are awesome! BobbyK sorry for caps--they got put on by accident Anyway, this band plays great music that is very technical--especially the awesome guiyar polaying!
Has anyone else noticed that in all the videos of this concert you occasionally hear a man speaking? I don't think it's Larry, because one of the times his face was in the picture.
the tele has definitely been turned down here - it's naturally a very bright guitar - very trebley so you have turn down the top end if you want a jazzish sound
While I agree that touch and playing style can dramatically effect tone, the right amp with the right settings can also darken the tone of a Tele. Larry has had numerous custom Dumble amps made.
Honestly, the 335 sounds fuller. Larry definitely tones down the brightness of the Tele with lower tone setting and using primarily the neck pickup.
This performance shows that it's not the instrument but the person that makes the tone. Larry Carlton is known for playing a Gibson ES 335 guitar, but makes a Telecaster sound like he is known to sound. Too many of us are searching for the tone, but it's already in our hands. This band is wonderful!
@veeoleary I'd still have identified that as a telecaster sight unseen (I've played both). The tele is a solid block of hard timber, so you get a pure string tone. The 335 has a hollow structure which contributes something else to the final sound, probably a mellower tone. All this assumes that the amp is giving a faithful reproduction of the instrument's original sound, of course, with no coloration (a big assumption).
Larry could make a board with rubber bands sound great! Bravo! Chris Kent is my favorite "tour with Larry" bassist too - what a talent. What can you say? Awesome musicians all around!
Actually, Larry will use tele's and strats for their ability to cut through the accompanying instruments, these guitars are the only types that can sing and make it through with the highs of the keyboards and not be muddy. He is quoted as saying this in some older guitar player mags.
Presumably this was performed as a tribute to Zachary Breaux who died in this year trying to save a drowning swimmer whilst on holiday in Miami. I don't know much about Larry but maybe he switched guitar to get the jazz sound he needed for the tribute.
That was actually at the Montreaux Jazz Festival back in 1997. Larry got the Tele because he wanted a very classic, traditional Tele. He has said in interviews that he just couldn't get into it though.
Larry Carlton at his finest in my not so humble opinion.

A lot of discussion in the comments about the Tele ... actually, I believe the axe is a custom-made Valley Arts guitar ... looks like a Tele ...

All the solos were great, but for me, I liked the keyboardist best. VERY nice chops and ideas.
