Info for Larry Coryell's Last Swing With Ireland

Larry Coryells Last Swing With Ireland contains guitarist Larry Coryell’s final studio outing recorded in Dublin during May 2016. (There is also a later live concert recording from Berlin – link to review below). Coryell was in town working at The Sugar Club with his hand-picked local rhythm section of Dave Redmond (bass) and Kevin Brady (drums). Incidentally, Angel Air promise a release of a live performance at the club by the trio sometime later this year.

Recorded at Dublin’s Hellfire Studios, Coryell and the rhythm section play through six pieces. Four evergreens: Ellington’s In A Sentimental Mood, Bonfa’s Manha de Carnaval, Parker’s Relaxin’ At Camarillo and the Morey/Churchill classic Someday My Prince Will Come; and two Coryell originals, The Last Peavey and 396.

Larry Coryell – Guitar virtuoso, performer and composer of jazz and jazz- rock. Master of guitar improvisation, known in the jazz world as the “Godfather of Fusion”.

Larry’s highly acclaimed improvised guitar stylings and compositions positioned him as one of the first innovators of the jazz-rock fusion movement in the late 1960s. His world renowned career spanned over 50 years as he improvised his life in music on the road and in the studio. You’ll never forget Larry’s sound or his personality.

A true legend and well established in the history books of jazz music, Larry knew and played with many of the well known jazz and rock greats of the 20th and 21st Centuries such as Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Chet Atkins, Chico Hamilton, Gary Burton, Chick Corea and Miles Davis.

Larry’s “Last Swing in Ireland” was his last visit to the Emerald Aisle and he made a lasting impression at Hellfire Studios and The Sugar Club with his favorite Irish rhythm section, Kevin Brady and Dave Redmond in May of 2016. They rock and they swing and everything in between.

"Last Swing With Ireland is really an album of ‘three halves’ starting with the two floating acoustic tracks. Then, the middle two are the electric swingers before the album closes with the final two fusion numbers. The fact that Larry Coryell succumbed to heart failure a mere nine months after these recordings is, of course, poignant but what’s in evidence throughout is an artist inspired, vibrant and oozing vitality. Clearly feeding off the energy of his brilliant bandmates, Coryell is in supreme form on every track giving us all a reminder that ‘fusion’, whatever that actually means, was just one string to his ample bow."
