5 out of 5 stars Never a bad album.......2005-08-09

Personnaly I feel every Coryell album is a great album. ! have over 20 albums from this guy, Coryell and Mclaughlin are the reasons I started playing guitar, I don't own this cd yet but I'm ordering it now. Honestly people, don't cheat yourselves by not listening to any Larry Coryell cd.

5 out of 5 stars It's A Gem!.......2005-04-28

Larry Coryell is a delightful new discovery for me. I recently saw him play live at the Tin Angel in Philadelphia and he blew me away. He has trad jazz guitar playing down pat but can also expand into a multitude of other genres including classical, fusion, new age, world music and rock. Some of his music is wildly exotic and impossible to categorize. (He played "Bolero" with such an Indian flavor that I could have sworn certain passages were being played on a sitar.) I got to meet him and am pleased to report that, in addition to being a virtuoso he is a warm and genuine human being. Standouts from that show were "Spaces Revisited", "Bolero", "Something" and "She's Leaving Home". Two of these songs, "She's Leaving Home" and "Spaces Revisited" are on Tricycles. There are many musical flavors to be found here, including the classic jazz of Monk's "Round Midnight", Larry's own compositions (difficult to categorize), and The Beatles cover "She's Leaving Home" which is so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes. (His other Beatles cover, George Harrison's "Something" is on The Power Trio CD and is equally good!) Despite the varied material on Tricycles the CD has a very consistent sound and hangs together as a cohesive whole. It leaves you with a blissful feeling that makes you immediately want to listen to the whole thing again from the beginning. I recommend this CD highly for anyone who loves great music, especially virtuoso guitar playing. It's a gem!

5 out of 5 stars excellent jazz trio!.......2004-10-04

Some people get turned off by the avant-guarde/fusion jazz that Larry did in the 60s/70s. Well, they won't when they hear this one. The style is a little bit of bop, swing, and fusion. There are no effects or electronics, just the plain old guitar/bass/drums. Tricycles finds Coryell with two well-rounded fretless bassist and drummer. He plays with a clean and smooth tone and he spits out very tasty licks that live up to his fame. All songs are originals except two covers of Thelonious Monk and one of the Beatles. I could honestly have done with less drum solos and more bass solos, but the music is still good nonetheless. The standout track is definetly Dragon Gate, although Immer Geradeaus, Good Citizen Swallow and Spaces Revisited are up there too.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Jazz and Fusion from the master!.......2004-06-29

Larry Coryell is an excellent player and a jazz/fusion pioneer.. Add to it the amazing musicians in his band and a killer Beatles cover, and this is a must-have for all fans of Jazz, Fusion, and Progressive.. Great for relaxing to, but just as great to really pay attention to and enjoy every note he plays.
