LARRY CORYEL & PHILIP CATHERINE: SPLENDID

Larry Coryell

Jazz Rock/Fusion

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

Splendid brings back the proven tandem of Larry Coryelle and Philip Catherine. Acoustic guitars are highly complementary, no competing or dominance of one. Playing is tight, lively. As a nice sonic difference, acoustic guitar effects (or is it a special guitar type?), there is a relaxing deep sounding melody guitar used on tracks like "Snowshadows".

A rework of the recent Coryell/Mouzon album "Transvested Express" for two classical guitars is splendid indeed and works out even without Mouzon drums. Piano joins on marching and a bit mischievious "Deus Xango" whereas "My serenade" has tonality similar to Django Reinhardt's but I couldn't find a direct link to the Reinhardt's composition of the same name.

"A quiet day in spring" is a pleasant breezy track.
