Larry Coryell
When the conversation of the electrification of Jazz, guitarist Larry Coryell (alongside Gábor Szabó) is considered a “Godfather of Fusion.” He was successfully fusing Jazz, Country, and Rock, as early as 1966. Coryell started in Chico Hamilton’s (mostly Straight-Ahead) Jazz quintet. Living in New York City though, a young guitarist couldn’t help but to be influenced by the psychedelic sounds heard in the Rock N Roll of the day. Jimi Hendrix, Cream, and Frank Zappa all impacted Coryell then, an throughout his 50-year, always evolutionary career. A pioneer and lifelong practitioner of what’s called “Electric Jazz.”
In that time, Coryell collaborated with a most elite cast of Fusion characters:
John McLaughlin,
Chick Corea,
Miroslav Vitouš,
Billy Cobham,
Lenny White,
Emily Remler,
Al Di Meola,
Paco de Lucía,
