Book Review: Guitar Monster
Summary: 5 Stars
I had the great pleasure of seeing Larry Coryell perform 3 times in the mid-70's,twice with Eleventh House and once in a duo with Steve Kahn. All of the performances were at a small club in Denver called Ebbetts Field. I also had the good fortune to meet and talk with Mr.Coryell. I found him to be down-to-earth and very nice. I've followed his career ever since, so when this book came out, I was quick to grab it. Larry has written a very interesting book. If you're a a fan of Jazz/Fusion or just interested in the life of a prominent musician, you'll probably enjoy this book. Much like the man himself, Larry writes in a down-to-earth fashion, both funny and frank, especially when relating his substance abuse struggles. I definitely recommend the book, and if Larry comes to your town, go see him! The man can shake those strings.
Summary of Improvising: My Life in Music (Includes Audio CD)
Jazz guitar legend Larry Coryell takes an unflinching look at his life and career, recounting his musical journey from his scuffling early days in New York City and his pioneering role in the jazz fusion movement to his current status as a world ambassador of jazz. Coryell reveals his own involvement in and eventual victory over the drug scene, and he gives his take on the musical giants he has known and performed with. Along the way, he details the development of his own style and provides inspirational words for fellow musicians. A special section presents a selection of Coryell's beloved Guitar Player magazine columns. Includes CD with audio lessons and original compositions recorded specifically for this book.Instruments & Performers Books
