Larry Coryell-Philip Catherine • Twin House

 

Review by Robert Taylor
The first of two fine guitar duet recordings with Phillip Catherine. Of the two, Catherine's sound is more rooted in the tradition of Django Reinhardt and tends to be more introspective. Coryell is his usual incorrigible self; however, Catherine's presence seemed to inspire more experimentation and intelligent playing on Coryell's part. As expected, this session will appeal primarily to guitarists -- and for good reason, as both players exploit their chops -- but it should be noted that the compositions here are quite memorable. Whether soloing over one riff ("Mortgage on Your Soul"), playing the blues ("Twin House"), or showing off ("Airpower"), this is an excellent collaboration and one of Coryell's most ambitious performances.

Reseña de Robert Taylor
La primera de dos grabaciones de dúos de guitarra con Phillip Catherine. De los dos, el sonido de Catherine está más enraizado en la tradición de Django Reinhardt y tiende a ser más introspectivo. Coryell es el incorregible de siempre; sin embargo, la presencia de Catherine parece inspirar más experimentación e interpretación inteligente por parte de Coryell. Como era de esperar, esta sesión atraerá principalmente a los guitarristas, y con razón, ya que ambos músicos explotan sus habilidades, pero hay que señalar que las composiciones son bastante memorables. Ya sea haciendo un solo sobre un riff («Mortgage on Your Soul»), tocando blues («Twin House»), o luciéndose («Airpower»), ésta es una excelente colaboración y una de las actuaciones más ambiciosas de Coryell.
