I love Gary Burton but I think Coryell is so over-rated. His phrasing and his tone suck. A wanker as far as I'm concerned. I've seen him live twice and had ONE album (no reason to buy another) and this video only confirms what I already knew: Coryell is bogus.
Young Larry the "mad improv scientist / explorer" He certainly brought some stuff out that had not been heard before. Truly an original. I am very great full for his music. Major part of my teen life. Great music and memories.
I had a big fat Gibson L-5 and Coryell was the reason I had it...
That sucker was a monster barely under control at high volumes and half the fun of playing it was keeping the thing from vibrating out of control...but, then you could control it...
To this day, Coryell is an astounding guitarist, and it's easy to see that he didn't get near the credit he deserves for advancing the vocabulary of rock guitar. A brilliant musician
Yes, Larry was "solo" at this time, but he still did guest-performance concerts with other people. If you look at him, that's definitely 1970-72 Coryell there. Nice performance - don't confuse it with the classic Sixties quartet, tho' - Swallow & Haynes were essential to it.
If this is 1971, then theoretically, Larry Coryell's performance at Montreux from that year should have been recorded on film as well, right?
That recording went on to become Fairyland, with Bernard Purdie and Chuck Rainey. That would be cool if it was out there somewhere just waiting to be released.
There is so much material from Montreaux that I would love to see released. The 11th House live LP was recorded there in 1974--I am sure that performance was filmed as well!
Thanks for posting this- I am a big fan of Gary's and so seldom do I get to see him performing, even though this is more R & B than jazz. . . I like it nonetheless. I am looking for more performances from Gary and Larry circa 1967-68, specifically when he was performing music off of "Duster."
@breakwind54 I agree with you. I have the LP 'Fairyland'. Liked that performance a lil better with just the trio. This is still a fantastic post. Thx 'jellison7'
Is that date right? By late 1968 Jerry Hahn had joined Gary Burton and by 1971 Larry was well into a solo career. Very typical of his playing of that period though.
THANK YOU,THANK YOU, THANK YOU for posting this VERY RARE performnce of the original Gary Burton Quartet featuring Larry Coryell. I had a copy years ago that is long lost. I first met Larry a little while after this was recorded and remarked to him that I'd seen it, to which he replied "Yeah, they had all the cameras rolling out there". Their parting at the time wasn't under the best of circumstances. In this performance, Larry had already left the band, and was a guest artist with Gary.
When Jimi died he was about to start working with Coryell. GODDAMMIT

Confounded hippies! Seriously, it's wild, raw, and experimental. Keep the bizarre genre blending stuff coming!
