Larry Coryell & Bireli Lagrene - Oleo (5/5)

[AmericanDiaz]

Not many players can hold their own with a fiery player such as Bireli but veteran ace Coryell shows the younger Bireli here how it's done. Has anyone heard Bireli lately? Good lord he developed into the most amazing player in Jazz today. He makes Metheny look like an amateur the level he is playing at now into his forties!

[oldsyphilitic]

I have to confess to never much enjoying Larry Coryell ever since buying Lady Coryell back in the 60s, but this is wonderful and of course Birelli can do no wrong for me. What a cooking trio!

[leoosiku]

@oldsyphilitic Did you buy all his straight ahead albums? I think you would enjoy them. There are upwards of 12 of them.

[oldsyphilitic]

@leoosiku Thanks for your comments.

I have other albums- I bought Lofty Fake Anagram back in the 60s and that is what made me buy Lady Coryell. Much later I bought three that were bundled together. One I quite enjoyed- Live from Bahia- the other two not at all.

Pleasure at listening to jazz players is a very personal thing and generally I try and avoid the sort of slagging matches that crop up on youtube. I'd rather leave it that I enjoy Larry's playing on this clip. It's very good.

Aladar is giving them a great groovy walking !!!!

Bireli is unstopable, superb session !

[Chromatype]

Bireli always makes something happen that you don't expect...I like that me...lol

[SIRONEDRAGON]

Great playing : ))

[alexdelarge66]

ALADAR PEGE!!!

[NickPycks6]

[jonnythegreek1]

Yeah! Tear it up!

[PaTrickMurphy379]

This is awesome!!!

Great little Salt Peanut reference at the end.

[alexmoxon]

Erg Larry kinda drops the head there. Embarassing

[wakanabeotai]

@alexmoxon agree man

well pointed

[leoosiku]

@alexmoxon Nah-your embarassing- get a few years of practice in life and music and I'll bet you will make fewer stupid comments

[alexmoxon]

@leoosiku lol okay man. I'll do that.

Oleo's a hard tune though. And he definitely drops the head.

[wakanabeotai]

@alexmoxon bireli is much better

[NickPycks6]

@wakanabeotai--they are both GREAT!!!Bereli is doing Benson type phrasing...Larry's doing Tal Farlow type Phrasing...nice contrast...Both are BURNING!!

[wakanabeotai]

@NickPycks6 i see Larry havin' technical problems.this is my opinion ,i just don't like his phrazing.maby here and bireli is not so cool ,but anyway.i'm not a personality in jazz to afirm something,but i see in this way the situation;)

[NickPycks6]

@wakanabeotai --maybe you don't dig Tal Farlow or Jimmy Raney....Larry is doing almost perfect interpretation of that classic style....technical problems??I don't think you comprehend this jazz guitar style

[wakanabeotai]

@NickPycks6 i agree that i can't play in this style but this is a opinion of a listener.i prefer listening bireli.maby i said that about larry because i like the bop phrazing.i like to hear guitar playin' like a trumpet.,you know,that strong trumpet attack,that phrazing.in that case guitar equals the other instruments but speaking about Tal Farlow style:it's only for guitarists.a piano player won't listen to Tal Farlow,he would rahter preffer bireli

But any way it's prefernce stuff....

[NickPycks6]

@wakanabeotai ...The bulk of Bireli's phrasing comes from -GUITAR- player George Benson...it is a historical FACT that Farlow and Raney were among the FIRST to apply the BE-BOP language{sax -trumpet -piano etc.}to the stirngs and frets. They were admired and emulated by many world-class horn and piano players,as well as guitarists.Your opinion is fine...your historical comprehension not.

[leoosiku]

@wakanabeotai where to start with you. A pianist would rather listen to birelli than tal- quit worrying about great players and go practice. Sweeping staements just show your age.

[wakanabeotai]

@leoosiku You are defintelivly right

i should go and practice

[leoosiku]

@wakanabeotai Technical problems- are you serious. if you are not personally into jazz why make a statement that would require you to have some knowledge.

[wakanabeotai]

@leoosiku mr, this is my opinion as a listener.i had already a debate on this topic.you are right,i apologize if i said something wrong.

maby you haven't heard some "good opinions" about guitarists stated by some other instrumentalisls.but this is already another subject.

this were some topics to speak about.actually ,i don't worry about great players.You didn't get me right

[atanaciotonyhernande]

they play well together

[thejazzman8]

most sweeping i've seen bireli do in one solo. show off

[JimmyDeLocke]

What a pair of monsters =P

Loved the Sailors Hornpipe quote at 2:20

[synesthesia67]

how the hell do they keep track of where the hell the key is??...amazing...

[thejazzman8]

looks like they got a chart....and im sure they've played it enough to know it by heart....love the new bireli vids also....great to see larry with his pointed super 400

[axeheadhell]

wonderful music..both larry and bireli complimenes each other

[lagatuda]

Two heavyweight guitar jazzers in great form - I love these guys!

[Tarabos1]

Dieses Video habe ich mal beim WDR mitgeschnitten...ca. Herbst 1994 Leider ist es irgendwie abhanden gekommen. Das Video war (glaube ich) ca. 90 Min. lang. Darin war ein super interessantes Interview mit Larry Corryell und Ali Haurand enthalten. Aladar Pege ist übrigens ein angesehender Professor im Fach Kontrabass. Merkwürdig, dass er nicht so berühmt ist, wie, na sagen wir Miroslav Vitous..

[nathnatzl]

wenn drei Giganten des Jazz sich treffen..!

Merci kapitanswing.
