coryell

i was 13 or so when a record store clerk rang me up for mahavishnu's "between nothingness and eternity" -- and passionately recommended larry coryell and the 11th house, enthusiastically praising not only coryell but alphonse mouzon as hipper and funkier than cobham, and electric trumpeter randy brecker as a cat who had his own bag going, distinct from miles. "the eleventh house with larry coryell" helped form my young idea of what good music was, and i still enjoy it from time to time -- a bit of that in a nostalgic way, but coryell did have a distinct thing going on and there are some greasy grooves in there.... i later picked up "introducing the 11th house" which had a soprano saxist (steve wilkinson?) instead of brecker, an earlier album that also had it's charm and which i haul out for a spin ever couple years.... there was also an acoustic coryell LP in the 70s that i liked, can't remember the name, but he hasn't held my interest to strongly in the decades since.... martin

* ahorton <ahorton(a)vt.edu>: >"A Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons", hands-down. Before it, they were >nothing but a 100% unabashed Sonic Youth ripoff (even going as far as >to release records on Steve Shelley's "Smells like Records" label!). While I'm not here to defend BR, this is going a might far. It's similar to saying that Stereolab's early LPs are Neu! and Can ripoffs that merit no attention whatsoever (I know many who ignore them for this very reason), and it's all too easy to *say*. Sure, it helps to set hard limits for music collecting purposes, but it's not quite as black and white... Why would Shelley play on, and produce records by a band that were 100% unabashedly ripping off his own (note that SY have ripped plenty themselves)? Again, not championing BR... just a thought, really. >Suddenly, on that record, they "came into their own," actually writing >great songs and using interesting sonic textures. I agree it was a step forward, but it doesn't negate their back catalog. >Their recent release, "misery is a butterfly," was an unfortunate attempt >to do "a melody.." again, but without the songwriting and interesting >production. Strongly disagree here. I think the LP is excellent, esp. with Eyvind Kang and Skuli Sverrisson on board. Tracks from this LP fared well in a live setting too. -Patrick NP: Baba Zula - "Üç Oyundan Onyedi Müzik" OD: Lajkó Félix és zenekara - "S/T"

Just discovered an album at my local library called Essential Larry Coryell, and was really impressed by some of the more fiery numbers. |Given that I have just discovered the man, and seeing that he has an enormous body of work, where should I look for similar playing (I see that he plays in a variety of sytles over a long career - as of right now, I'm mainly interested in tracks like 'Jam with Albert', etc.). Any advice as to where to look? thanks for any help nathan

>COUNTRY PROTEST ANEW > >AND THE WIND CRIES MALACHY hey - they're both quite good. cp anew is what you might expect if you know the first one, with some great songs (including a dixie chicks cover). wind cries malachy is jazzy where the former is more country/folk. i prefer the former, i think. reviews will be up soon at the squid's ear, and needful to say malachy is available at <http://www.squidco.com>, and country protest soon will be. cheers. _________________________________________________________________ Check out MSN PC Safety & Security to help ensure your PC is protected and safe. http://specials.msn.com/msn/security.asp

* Jason Tors <jasontors(a)yahoo.com>: >I checked them out in montreal a while ago, been meaning to pick up >something of theirs but I wanted to get opinions on the list. It can't just be coincidence that you're mentioning this now. You must know they're playing tonight (8th) in Montr�al at Club Soda? Or perhaps not, and you don't even live there... They just played an excellent gig in Toronto on Tuesday! >anyone with any opinions on the essential blonde redhead album? Essential? Hmmm. Folks could argue about this one. Don't know if any are truly essential, but I quite dig the last two, "Misery Is A Butterfly" (w/ Eyvind Kang & Skuli Sverrisson) and "Melody Of Certain Damaged Lemons", which I think stand out from their earlier records. The mid period LPs have some excellent songs along with some filler... "In An Expression Of The Inexpressible" and "Fake Can Be Just As Good" being the matching pair here. The first two records show their origins & influences. "Blonde Redhead" & "La Mia Vita Violenta" are both on Smells Like, and are quite good... possibly the place to start, although I'd say the same about the two most recent LPs. -Patrick NP: Savina Yannatou & Primavera en Salonico - "Terra Nostra" OD: Madvillain - "Madvillainy" [Doom tore it up last night! J-Dilla and Madlib came through in spots. Egon & PBWolf spun some killer rare funk. Visuals were "Space Is The Place" & "La plan�te sauvage". Nice!]
