RIP Larry Coryell
Forums:
He interviewed Stevie Ray Vaughn once. Both were recovering heroin addicts. SRV mentioned that he was shocked that his muse didn't disappear when he got clean. Larry cracked up because he had thought the same thing.
He was really good.

Aw.
Aw.
I actually met him a few times, and got to play his Ovation six-string. I very accidentally ended up in his dressing room, while in a walking conversation with a guy who turned out to be one of his students. About five minutes in, Larry and a small entourage left for what I believe was a Safety Meeting. The student (Vic? Or maybe Vince?) hands me the six and picks up the twelve. I knew the "A" part of John McLaughlin's "Guardian Angels" and he knew enough of the "B" part to fake it the first time through. I think we played it through four times. I declined an attempt at a solo. I really only knew the piece mechanically.
His work with Grappelli and Phillipe Catherine is amazing.

At last nights Hot Tuna show
At last nights Hot Tuna show Jorma talked about how he and Larry with Bloomfield use to jam together in NY. He seemed really broken up about the news of his friend passing.

While he was born in
While he was born in Galveston, Texas, Larry grew up in Richland, Washington, graduating from Richland High School and later attending the University of Washington. Although he played in a number of bands in his formative years, his debut appearance on an LP was with the Seattle-based outfit Chuck Mahaffay & The Individuals on their 1964 album, "The Girl From Ipanema". Bossa Nova was the flavor of the day in Jazz and the 21 year old Larry makes a solid debut.He moved on to New York City, replacing Gabor Szabo in Chico Hamilton's quintet, then recorded some memorable records with Herbie Mann's group, especially the 1969 "Memphis Underground" album, which featured him in an incredible guitar duo with Sonny Sharrock, accompanied by Mann and the young vibes sensation Roy Ayers.
Another great musician with Washington State roots, he will be missed. RIP

Any discussion about Larry
Any discussion about Larry has to start with the Spaces LP. John McLaughlin, Billy Cobham, Chick Corea, it's a classic. RIP
