Larry Coryell • Major Jazz Minor Blues

 

Review by John Bush
A jazz-rock pioneer during the late '60s and '70s, Larry Coryell was also a strong performer in a straight-ahead setting, as evidenced by his recordings for Muse during the latter half of the '80s. Major Jazz Minor Blues reissues ten titles from those records, most in a trio setting, and finds him reacting well with sidemen including bassists Stanley Cowell and George Mraz and pianists Kenny Barron and Billy Hart. The disc captures two of his best originals from the era, "Tender Tears" and "No More Booze, Minor Blues," plus Coryell's surprisingly nuanced versions of "'Round Midnight," "My Shining Hour," and "Sophisticated Lady."

Reseña de John Bush
Pionero del jazz-rock a finales de los 60 y los 70, Larry Coryell era también un gran intérprete en un entorno directo, como demuestran sus grabaciones para Muse durante la segunda mitad de los 80. Major Jazz Minor Blues reedita diez títulos de esos discos, la mayoría en formato de trío, y lo encuentra reaccionando bien con sus acompañantes, entre ellos los bajistas Stanley Cowell y George Mraz y los pianistas Kenny Barron y Billy Hart. El disco recoge dos de sus mejores originales de la época, "Tender Tears" y "No More Booze, Minor Blues", además de las versiones sorprendentemente matizadas de Coryell de "'Round Midnight", "My Shining Hour" y "Sophisticated Lady".
