The Coryells
Larry Coryell • Guitar
Julian Coryell • Guitar
Murali Coryell • Guitar
Perhaps the inventor of the oft-misused
jazz-rock idiom, guitarist Larry Coryell can now claim a most unlikely
feat. He's the father of a veritable guitar dynasty, or at least that's
what The Coryells seems to demonstrate.
From the charged, three-part suite that opens this album to the closing
track, Coryell and his sons (Murali and Julian) are fantastically
dialed in to a guitar virtuosity that's matched by Chesky Records'
pristine audiophile setting. Larry stands out, of course, but sometimes
just barely. He's awash in gushing strums when the threesome is
cooking, and he's enveloped elsewhere in Murali's bluesy vocals and
guitar.
Percussionist Alphonse Mouzon and bassist Brian Torff acquit themselves
gingerly in the sonic recesses, framing the guitars with perceptible
but not driving rhythmic forces. Many guitar-rich sessions are too
closely aimed only at musicians. Here, Murali's vocals (especially) on
Mingus's "Goodbye Porkpie Hat" make it clear that this is a session
both fiercely talent laden and entertaining.
