In 1965 I owned a place in Torrance Ca called the Doll House. I got tired of local bands and put a group together. I called it the Frank Four. Larry was still in high school and wore a long hair wig when I hired him. During the breaks he would go into my office and practice. When he wasn't eating or sleeping he was practicing. He became number one call for all the recording companies before he retired. He aslo played with some heavy jazz groups.
Yes he used to play with a dear friend of mine Jazz Pianist John Wood down in Venice Ca at the club called "The Seachest!" I was in my late teens too! If you appreciate Good Jazz Music and the Guitar Lovers can rock with this for sure! I'm from Santa Monica and Venice Ca I grew up with my Dad listening to all the Jazz Greats and I hated it as a kid but became In Love with Jazz at about 17 and listen to it most everyday
I'm a guitarist, but always listen to the other instruments. And, on this tune........Bob James is just killing it on piano! Just check out those passing chords!!!! And, yes........Larry can play his ass off, too!
I could do this one, but not everything that Larry plays. He has a seemingly infinite chord voicing vocabulary. Watch what he did with Les Paul. That was jaw dropping.
La perfección existe, y Blues Force con Fourplay : Larry Carlton. Bob James. Nathan East y Harvey Mason son los gestores, escuchala una y otra vez y confirmaras que la perfección SI EXISTE, abrazo para ellos, gracias por su música, ojalá alguna vez visiten Lima Peru, lo esperaremos con los brazos abiertos
Larry Carlton is my favorite guitarist,I think the key to he's genius is,he's a great band member. All these guys in the band are equals,they all contribute to the one sound which in turn creates the Blues Force. I love the space they make for each other and the listener. Thanks for posting this.
First time I have listened to Larry, recognise the custom guitar that Gibson made but never knew his music until now. Nice and easy relaxed laid back groove!
I am so amazed how Larry can play simultaneously pick and fingers in a so accurate manner ...managing everything without a singe false note Beeing able in the same time to give great effects when strocking the strings with his fingers and producing sharp tones with the pic or even the thumb.....also the way he bends simultaneously multiple strings to produce more deepness to the sound.He is just incredible especially with heavy gage electric Daddario strings !
Yah. Larry Carlton's was the guitar work on Steely Dan's "Kid Charlemagne" from their 1976 LP The Royal Scam. A fine set of musicians those Steely's...
That's Powerful What You Just Said Bc It's a fact I'm from a family of music! The only thing is.. All 10 of us siblings sang and years later can still hold a tune! The only one who played was Mom on piano and We Always knew she was telling a story and we were in tune with her bc we knew our Mother on and off the Piano in the zone! After that we all learned that musicians are telling a story, just as you said bc I could not have put it better! You most often see Guitarist's mouths moving but this is the first Pianist who I've seen with this kind of musical expression except Moses Tyson Jr on organ he makes the organ do his talking Pull him up right here on you tube This man is a BADD The song is titled Pray for me Check it out
I KNOW wasn't that the BEST? The freeze comes from the fifties and who would'a thought to do that on stage. Brought the house down didn't it. SO ARTISTIC!!!!
Thank you for Spitting Larry out this Way at 1st it was like but I Wasn't sure but when I Heard Sunrise that was it Thank you Baby Really Enjoy Them💋👀🖤😊
Well this is the 3rd time I have woke up today it is 10:06pm Monday night That's the Blues Larry plays the Blues the band is Awesome Thank you Kostas 💋👀🖤😊
The graphic should say Fourplay. That's Bob James on piano and Harvey Mason on drums. It's not just the Larry and Nathan show. It's on the album, "Yes, Please!"
