I'm still so heart broken that I never got to meet Larry Coryell.... May you Rest In Peace Larry, I know you must be playing with all the legends up there and having a great time... Rip.
I feel the same way. 2017 was such a terrible year to loose Larry and Allan holdsworth. I wanted to book Larry to play some shows in Texas as I was never able to see him in concert. I such a huge guitar fan and I’ve seen nearly 2000 concerts, to have missed Larry brings real grieve to my life and I’ll suffer that fact till I’m gone.
It is ominous for me, to learn that Larry died of heart failure at the age of 73...I am 75, and have just been diagnosed with a type of heart failure....the beginning of the end for me!
@@curbozerboomer1773 : You don’t know that for sure Curbozer, medicine is always progressing, there are surely medical options that can make your prognosis better, don’t count yourself out so fast…
@@curbozerboomer1773 don't say that, man! Heart failure is a bad disease but with medication and care you could easily have 10 or more years in front of you. I'm turning 70 next month. Scary but we must try to enjoy each minute of each day. Best of luck to you, bon chance! (read my comment above - I knew Larry and spent a few unforgettable evenings with him - he certainly enjoyed life till the very end)
He was one of the greatest players ever to pick up a guitar. I highly recommend his album Back Together Again with Alfonse Mouzon. What a magnificent album. He did so many great albums.
I met Larry in Sanford Fl a show he did ... on his B-day my wife & I sat with his wife at a table just 8 feet away from the stage.......on the break.....we walked across the street at a convenience store... he got a chocolate milk and we chatted briefly about music and life...in general......it was a special day for me.....
Lovely interview, thanks!Got to play duets with Larry for about an hour in Dublin 2016 for a college masterclass that I was facilitating...what a lovely man and what a great experience to go toe to toe with him. Got heart palpitations and a dry mouth but he made me feel comfortable and we had a blast...blessed.
Sometimes the interviewer talks too much ,talks over the person they are speaking to..i felt that with this interview but still got some great nuggets from larry..he was the real deal who came up in a great time of transition for the music and the public at large..Dizzy loved him...great guy..r.i.p. larry coryell..

I’ll grieve the rest of my life I never was able to see Larry in concert. Back a few years ago I almost flew across the country to The 11th House reunion and I didn’t big mistake. Then a year before Larry died I was trying to organize a tour for Larry in Texas. Too bad he died before that happened. Rest In Peace you’ve been a inspiration my whole life and you’ll continue to be.
I had that guitar in my home for 2 months in 2000. The pickguard self-destructed one night and when I opened the case, these chunks fell out. I was terrified of what LC would say. He replaced it with the wood one you see here. He loved my 1968 Johnny Smith and I have video of him playing it. Fun times.
you had one chance to interview him and he told you he met Wes Montgomery and you weren't listening. Let that be a lesson. Ask a question then shut up until there is at least 2 seconds of silence.
Gracias a TAGA Publishing por hacer esto posible y darnos a conocer el recorrido de un musico increíble pero aun mas que eso lo hace ser asombroso por la humildad y generosidad que tiene! Eres Grande larry corryel
In the 1980's I was working in a record store - Larry and Emily came walzing in togther. They had a cruise ship gig and were in port. I was a big fan from Lady Coryell on, so it was thrill to meet Larry, one of the all time greatest.
He really brought Sack o' Woe to life in only a few bars! I was really interested in hearing what Larry realized by hearing Grant Green, but the interview cut him short!
This must have been filmed how many months before his passing? 6? I was fortunate to be asked from an audience to come up, take Al DiMeolas guitar and jam with Larry in Montreal! Still got the recording. I was floating on air for days. RIP trailblazer
Larry mentioned that he would have enjoyed the chance to play with Keith Jarrett, saying that Keith didn't play with guitar players. Sadly, it's too late to see this happen. But Keith did play with guitar players, and the combination worked well. He brought in Sam Brown to play on the Expectations LP, a unique guitar player who unfortunately didn't make it to the age of 40. Keith was also in the Miles Davis band in the Live-Evil period, which also featured guitarist John McLaughlin.
Too bad the interviewer is totally inept. Larry mentions Wes and I would have asked him to talk about that. Or to talk about why he relates everything to the blues. Larry was a wealth of information that could have come out in this interview.
I do not know why Larry fails to mention of his time spent, in the late 50 and very early 60s, with a few of the locally famous NW Rock bands!..You should look up a tune called "JAJ", by The Dynamics....a 19yo Larry takes quite a blistering little solo in the middle of that tune!...He seems to gloss over his Seattle gigs!
He also fails to mention his jamming, in 1968, with his fellow guitar wizard from Seattle, Jimi Hendrix! A few photos exist of them jamming at The Scene nightclub in NYC. Larry seemed to not want to give "props" to his fellow NW musicians, seemingly fell in love with the New York jazz scene...The thing I resent about many Jazz players, is their condescending attitude about more mainstream popular music. While Coryell was attending the UW in Seattle, the Beatles hit the music scene...he wrote a blisteringly negative review of them in the UW campus paper, "The Daily". But, as we see, he later on incorporated aspects of their sound into his musical approach!...Musicians often say one thing, and then do another.
The interviewer sadly monopolized this entire interview, sad. Still, some great insight from Larry. The fact that he was being talked over constantly and still maintained his composure/character, speaks volumes about the man’s character. The world was a better place with him in it. Not an ounce of rockstar ego or diva attitude whatsoever, one of my main influences along with John McLaughlin.
@@curbozerboomer1773 I am glad it was not just me thinking the 'interviewer couldn't'. How do you have a conversation when you finish every sentence... Sitting with One Of The Greats and walking over every riff.
