Larry Coryell made his earliest recordings as a leader for Vanguard and most of his sessions from 1968-75. After working for a variety of other labels, he came back for this lone effort in 1979.
Coryell's basic sound was still the same as in his early fusion days, but the setting had changed. Joined by three of the Brubeck brothers (keyboardist
Darius, electric bassist
Chris and drummer
Dan), along with percussionist
Ray Mantilla, the guitarist performs three of his originals (including "Cisco at the Disco"), two
Darius Brubeck numbers, and a selection co-written by
Al DiMeola and
Paco DeLucia. Although not one of his most significant dates,
Larry Coryell sounds in fine form throughout this modern mainstream LP, stretching himself a bit.
