Influential fusion guitarist Larry Coryell has passed along to the great marijuana field in the sky. Coryell is more psych- and blues-rock oriented than one might expect from a man known as a founding member of the jazz fusion subgenre, but it was my introduction to the man's greatness, and it's great in its own right. Plus, I actually started working on this post a couple of weeks ago but got lazy and left it unfinished, so it looks like now's the time.
Track listing:
1. Sex
2. Beautiful Woman
3. The Jam with Albert
4. Elementary Guitar Solo #5
5. No One Really Knows
6. Morning Sickness
7. Ah Wuv Ooh
Full moon and empty spirits rise into flight

Thank you for the post honoring Mr. Coryell. His stuff and the genre were never my bag, except for Miles's work in it. And while his work with Miles is where my personal dip into Coryell begins and ends, his stature in the field is undeniable.
