[SACD-R][OF](Jazz, Folk Jazz, Guitar Jazz)The Coryells – The Coryells - 2000/2002

 

Mix jazz guitar pioneer Larry Coryell with his talented sons, Julian & Murali, & what do you get? A smoking blend of acoustic jazz & blues that will turn heads & ears.
On ‘The Coryells’, their 1st-ever recording together, Larry’s seminal approach to jazz guitar meshes naturally with Murali’s blues guitar/vocals & Julian’s lyrical jazz guitar riffs. Featuring a special blend of new songs, stellar jams & standout covers, The Coryells showcases both the complex interplay of their guitars & their unique familial ability to groove.
Larry’s “Sentenza Del Cuore” drips with delicate, flamenco-styled accents. Julian’s lyrical “Sink or Swim” reveals a composer who is mature beyond his years. Murali’s searing vocals on “Love & Happiness” & the classic “Goodbye Porkpie Hat” will have your soul crying out for mercy. After 1 listen, it will be quite clear that playing guitar was a way of life in the Coryell household.

Review by Tube Man March 22, 2005:
Having a modified Sony DVP-S9000ES SACD Transport, I was only able to review this album in the stereo mode. I have had this SACD for approximately a year & have found it to have excellent sound resolution. The recording quality is excellent, capturing the delicate harmonics of the instruments & voices in an uncommon way. The performers can be distincly placed on the cavernous soundstage. The Coryells have a rhythmic jazz/rock style speckled with excellent guitar vituosity that is full of emotion. You can frequently hear the guitarists breathing & humming along the more elaborate guitar sections. The musicians really blend well like a good choir. Its a wonder these guys aren’t more popular than they are. I highly recommend it.

This is one of my favorite “sleeper” albums. I had never heard of the Coryells or of Chesky Records. I bought it simply because it was SACD. Long story short, this is an incredible album. The music is wonderful (& I’m not a big fan of guitars) with excellent sonics AND performances that will keep you coming back to listen again & again. There is so much emotion in the music that it will captivate you. As mentioned the sonics are excellent as well. Highly recommended by StyleAndEntertainment!

This is the 2nd sacd I have purchased featuring 1 or more of the Coryell family playing. For those who may know………… Larry Coryell is a master guitarist in the jazz/ rock mixture of music. Being as it may……. I just love to hear this guy play. He is terrific.
This particular album features the elder Coryell playing with his two2 sons, a bassist & a percussionist. It’s a definite hodge podge of tastes & styles …so prepare yourself to be open minded.
Some songs feature Spanish style music on the three 3 guitars only while other tracks feature vocals with straight playing & sung very bluesy. But other songs & these are the ones I enjoy the most feature the 3 guitarists playing together with melodic & experimental tones where each guitarist accentuates the other. Track 12 is rather beautiful.
I am tempted to wish that this was an album that only featured the 3 Coryells playing their acoustic guitars but then again…it’s nice to hear different styles & how far they can stretch the guitar style in general. On the whole this is a good album.
Last, but certainly not least, is the recording. I own many Chesky sacd’s & they are simply marvelous. The Chesky’s have an excellent gift for producing masterful & musical recordings & sacd’s. This album features an excellent soundstage & slightly subdued but realistic guitar sound. By that I mean they are never abrasive & full bodied. It is easy to place where each guitarist is in the sound field. The vocals are also recorded with excellent fidelity & are naturalistic in feel. A superb job indeed.
Very much recommended.
