"Monk, Trane, Miles & Me" is a remarkable CD by the legendary jazz guitarist Larry Coryell, released under High Note Records. This album pays homage to three of jazz's most influential figures: Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane (Trane), and Miles Davis. With his virtuosic guitar work and deep understanding of jazz traditions, Coryell interprets classic compositions associated with these icons while infusing them with his own unique style. The result is an engaging journey through modern jazz history that showcases both reverence for the originals and innovative artistry. Larry Coryell was a pioneering figure in jazz fusion, known for blending rock, blues, and classical influences into his playing. Over his prolific career spanning five decades, he collaborated with legends like Gary Burton and Chick Corea and released numerous acclaimed albums as both leader and sideman. High Note Records is renowned for its dedication to high-quality jazz recordings featuring some of the genre?s greatest talents.
For me: spectacular musicianship and sound quality.You can feel these at your home, wherever you are, just by listening and occasionally gazing the album cover. GREAT LARRY
