RETURN

Groovin`rythmical jazz-rock from one of it`s masters which is more jazzy than most of his previous funk-laden electric work thanks to the Brubeck brothers who provide Coryell with a solid canvass over which to work his improvisational wonders and yes, they`re none other than the sons of jazz legend Dave Brubeck. The results achieved here revisit Coryell`s masterwork, Spaces in ways, albeit in a smoother and less serious manner. There have been many reviewers who have slammed this work in the past for being too mainstream but it contains some of Larry`s smoothest most together work from the `70s with plenty of soloing not only from Larry but also from pianist Darius Brubeck whose colourful highlights give the album a bright consistent sound. Without a dull moment, it is also easier on the ear for non-musicians than Spaces which makes it a great intro to Larry`s playing. Some mistakes are left in as well for afficiados to detect which which is typical of Coryell when he really gets into a groove. Another subtle ingredient is the assorted percussion of Ray Mantilla as well as the Chris Brubeck`s Pastorious-like bass sound which gives the album even more depth. An overlooked gem in Coryell`s extensive catologue which contain six solid jammin`tracks. Highly recommended for those who want to discover a lighter side of Coryell`s genius.
