 Larry Coryell: Tricycles - PopMatters Music Review
Larry Coryell is one of those rock and roll legends that most people under 35 have never heard of.
For the last 20-odd years, Larry Coryell has kept on trying to improve his craft, turning in yet another different direction, playing straight-up, unadorned jazz, with occasional pauses to pursue idiosyncratic side projects such as avant garde renderings of traditional Stravinsky and Ravel compositions.
Coryell's reverence for fellow innovator Thelonious Monk is clear, both in his unconventional approach to traditional jazz and by the fact that he performs renditions of two of his songs, "Round Midnight" and "Well You Needn't".

Guitarist Larry Coryell and drummer Alphonse Mouzon reunite their 1970s jazz-fusion group Eleventh House, with some new members and fresh sounds.
Featuring founding members Larry Coryell and drummer Alphonse Mouzon along with the new blood of Julian Coryell (guitar), Richard Bona (bass) and Shunzo Ono (trumpet), Eleventh House is proving to be one of the few '70s fusion outfits still making a fresh and powerful musical statement in the '90s.
Both Coryell and Mouzon spent much of the late '80s and early '90s pursuing musical flirtations with "smooth jazz" resulting in such albums as Mouzon's "The Survivor" and Coryell's "I'll Be Over You," but don't expect to hear anything that CD101.9 might embrace with this outfit.

Larry Coryell stands on equal footing with John McLaughlin as one of the premier jazz fusion guitarist and this probably represents his finest achievement.
But the highlight, of course, is the blitzkrieg of notes being pummelled out of Coryell's guitar mostly trading with synthesizer and trumpet, intermingled with more mid tempo improvisations; but the dynamics and interaction feature not just beautifully intricate work, but ingenious melodic and harmonic scales befitting musicians of the highest technical accomplishment.
Larry and Co. are a windstorm of rock/jazz creativity.

But ask one of those listeners to name one recent Larry Coryell performance they have attended or one tune he has recorded within the past decade, and you may get a blank stare.
Having devoted his life to the muse and to the music, Coryell, intensely private, seems to have sacrificed high personal recognition for the opportunity to investigate the guitar in its infinitude of possibilities.
However, Coryell personalizes his own “Turkish Coffee,” the notes ringing through with crystalline assuredness, due in no small part of Rudy Van Gelder’s sound engineering genius as he employs two amplifiers to document the richness of the guitar.
