That fortunate young man, will have something for a lifetime, that many of his friends and peers wish they had: a once in a lifetime opportunity to jam with with one of the greatest guitarist of his generation, Larry Coryell.
This vid makes me love Larry Coryell even more. He was not only an innovative guitarist but also an exceptionally open-minded/versatile musician. And, he was 1 of few white musicians who truly appreciated and absorbed the essence of black music (blues & jazz), which is particularly obvious in his love and adoration of the great Wes Montgomery. Actually, he must have been a humble and beautiful human, as is shown in this vid. When he played “In a Sentimental Mood” for those school kids, he was all out as if he was playing in a concert. He was so sincere for what he was doing. I still can’t believe he’s no longer with us. What a loss!
Very inspiring to see somebody like Larry be so gracious and humble. There’s not an ounce of ego or arrogance to be found, just a love for his art and a desire to share that love and knowledge with others. As a guitarist/musician when I discovered Larry and John Mcluaghlin a brand new world of sonic possibilities opened up to me. Totally changed the way I approach, view, and play music. That kid was extremely fortunate to have this interaction, Rest In Peace Mr Coryell.
I was well blessed to have studied with Larry, and blessed again to have studied with students of Andreas Segovia. Larry was the King of Jazz fusion. The king of riffs and long ascending lines. But I remember how much he loved his peaches. He was High on life, and always grateful to share his knowledge. God bless Larry and his children. Who are also great musicians. I remember watching his son Julian at age 13 rip up the bass while Larry killed on the guitar. Thank you Larry for showing me so many of your secret chops. I owe it all to you!
I have always loved his music since early 70’s. I also admire/respect him as a person. After all, it makes sense - he truly understood the essence of Jazz : Jazz is the African American experience. Larry Coryell was no ordinary musician.
This is beautiful! What a wise, generous, beautiful person. I heard him in Boston in '74, everything about his playing and his band were a revelation. Sorely missed.
this is low key one of the greatest things I have ever seen. When you are young like this kid you don't have so much self criticism yet inside you so the kid just picks up the horn and starts to play with a total legend. Adults would have probably frozen up. This kid just goes for it! This video is awesome!!!
@@jman12849 Explain in what way was Larry Coryell "arrogant?" To me, arrogant is like Andres Segovia, Buddy Rich, and young Arnold Schwarzenegger. Then again, those guys had the skill and accomplishments to back up their arrogance.
When he announces and starts playing Duke Ellington's In A Sentimental Way at 5:20, although he previously talked about Monk's line of "right is wrong", Coryell plays so we'll, I can find nothing but perfection in his guitar technique, and that fast scale picking at the end, is Pure Euphoric Bliss.
What an inspiration! This rendition he plays of Duke Ellington's, In A Sentimental Way, is nothing short of spectacular perfection. I met Larry when he performed one afternoon at the Cathedral Park Jazz Festival in North Portland Oregon, my home town. I had missed his live performances here before going back to as long ago as 1959. Again in around 1975 and then in about 1980. This time at the Cathedral Park festival I believe it was around the year 2004. I took my copy of his album, The Restful Mind, and had him autograph the back of it. I told him that first hearing his album The 11th House in 1974, a year before the Restful Mind, in which he invited the group, Oregon, led by Ralph Towner to back up this album in 1975. The Restful Mind in which they have Ralph Towner playing in the right track, and Coryell on the left, is in a raga style of playing, that's very reminiscent of Indian sitars. That album also changed my life, in better understanding of Jazz, which at the time was considered jazz fusion, as it was written up in the New York Times, in Coryell's obituary in February 2017, as the guy that played fusion before it had a name. ua-cam.com/video/olO5b2f54vU/v-deo.html
This man had a very powerful spirit, that is the way he was very spontaneous, and open. He spent a few days at my home playing and recording and it was very hard for me to keep up with his energy and I was much younger than Larry!
Since I heard Mr. L.C on Chico Hamilton's "The Dealer" I could not get enough! And live at The Village Gate album never wears off. So I was happy to hear and see him in a local venue a few years ago. As he was preppng to play I couldn't contain myself and jumped up and yelled "Larry, I've been waiting my whole life to heard you play" (I was born in the sixties). Larry walked over and in a genuine manner said, "I hope we don't let your expectations down" and smiled. He didn't, every minute was fun and a lesson. Absolutely no b.s. on stage or off. I bet he's playing with Albert Stinson now...
In 2001 I met Larry in my hometown Volos in Greece!He came here with Al Di Meola for rehearsing with our symphonic orchestra and later on they would perform in a big concert in Athens.We hanged out together and I invited him to my house where my mother would cook fish for us all and we jammed before eating!!! He said really nice things about my playing and he had a pure heart like a small kid!I remember going out with him and he would tell us unbelievable jazz stories!!Back then I Knew he was a great artist but now I realise how big an artist he was!Larry I will never forget you!!
During the nineties Larry gave a free concert with a local guitarist in downtown Greenville sc. One the the nicest people ever met. They both played only straight ahead with the big hollow bodies. Amazing performance
Those kids were in the presence of one of the greats of all time. I've loved Larry's playing from the day I first heard him [sometime in July '75]. This is a little like the incredible appearance of Barney K on Ulf Goran's TV show.
I Still Miss My Friend Larry Coryell to See Him and He know I'm A Friend of James Marshall Hendrix when I Played with Chris Spedding and Buddy Miles Long Time ago and I Know everything as A Jazz Guitarist and Play Charlie Christian at Home in The Netherlands Christian Sibbald RIP Larry GodBless Our Song Chris
Larry Coryell didn't release the album "Duster" with the Gary Burton Quartet ! Gary Burton released the album with his quartet featuring among others Larry Coryell...
Muito lindo.A música é literalmente encantadora!!!!!! Minha maior paixão!!!! sempre foi e sempre será!!!!apesar de não ser músico infelizmente. Não pude realizar esse sonho.
In 2005, I told Larry after his performance at a Soka Gakkai Buddhist event in Hawaii, that I was interested in guitar;...he told me. "Good luck with that!" Made me laugh. NMRK
I remember Larry emerging with Gary Burton and I was so excited at the idea of jazz guitar embracing the sonic sounds of rock. Before that, sound wise, jazz guitar was always the poor relative of the sax, and trumpet.
I don't even play jazz not really I'm more of a blues guitarist but I would have loved to have met this man maybe knocked back a couple cold ones together.
The way he says to the kid "why not?" is so encouraging and full of wisdom! Rest in peace, Larry!
It was patronising, pure and simple....
@@olliebeak131 In that case, it's about time someone acted as the father figure to the boy 🤣
Really great

Most of the jazz greats aren't black, jazz borrows huge amounts from classical music and obviously is built on western music theory.

In light of Larry's passing, perhaps, this video had me in tears...of joy.
Exactly!!! Tears came!

At over eight minutes, you'd think this is more than you want to watch. But every second is a delight.
Absolutely
What a wonderful video. The kid is great and Mr. Coryell's solo improv is phenomenal.

This kid will never forget this day .... Met Larry 10 yrs ago in Florida
Larry is the most generous guy I've ever met in music, and one of the most talented guys I've ever played ...
he seems pretty arrogant but that's just me
@@jman12849_ Arrogant was his comment, he was the kindest person I met ... Also expect what from a banana ???

RIP Larry. You are a legend. This is delightful. It brings a tear to my eye.
RIP Larry. You were a great guy. Thank you for the guitar lesson in 1975 in NYC.
He was a treasure. Thank god we still have these videos.

best video on youtube!!! I wish more kids did this and of course we need more Larry in this world..
that made my day too larry. it's great to see young children into jazz
❤❤❤ seeing a master interact and impart his passion and knowledge with young kids so interactively.
What an inspiration! This rendition he plays of Duke Ellington's, In A Sentimental Way, is nothing short of spectacular perfection.

Chico Hamilton featuring "Larry Coryell." He is a master. These children are blessed.
What a treat.
One of my all-time favorites. Rest In Power, Larry.
I keep coming back to this video. It's so inspiring to watch and listen to. Thanks.

Damn... okay, I'm inspired.
This video is very special. Rest In Peace Larry.
What a beautiful video, tears rolling.
What a great video. He's great and the boy was great, and the kids got to see something wonderful! I sure hope they play for the rest of their lives.
So long Mr. Coryell.. you will be missed..

Those kids were in the presence of one of the greats of all time. I've loved Larry's playing from the day I first heard him [sometime in July '75].
This is a little like the incredible appearance of Barney K on Ulf Goran's TV show.

Larry Coryell R.I.P.
Rip to a genius
I did a workshop with Larry. Played Stella with him. He was very cool.
When he insisted the kids play with him I thought to myself"this is what music is all about!"
He was terrifyingly Good! RIPLC

Bad ass Larry Coryell !!
Miss you Larry❤️.
Larry is nice music teacher！ラリーコリエルさん優しい！
Wrong is right, weirdness is originality.
LOL 100% right
his playing ranks with the worlds greatest
Muito lindo.A música é literalmente encantadora!!!!!! Minha maior paixão!!!! sempre foi e sempre será!!!!apesar de não ser músico infelizmente. Não pude realizar esse sonho.
In 2005, I told Larry after his performance at a Soka Gakkai Buddhist event in Hawaii, that I was interested in guitar;...he told me. "Good luck with that!" Made me laugh. NMRK
I often wonder what has happened to this young sax player? Did he stay with it?
What a nice man!
A true grandfather of jazz.
Missing you, Larry. I wonder where the kid is now?
I remember Larry emerging with Gary Burton and I was so excited at the idea of jazz guitar embracing the sonic sounds of rock. Before that, sound wise, jazz guitar was always the poor relative of the sax, and trumpet.
heard this on guitarwank. feels oddly good putting the audio to a video. play on maestro
I hope this kid never stops playing sax.
We miss Larry Coryell.
Couldn't love you more
Эта встреча останется в душе ребенка на всю жизнь!
Go kid great stuff ,,
I don't even play jazz not really I'm more of a blues guitarist but I would have loved to have met this man maybe knocked back a couple cold ones together.
Larry est toujours magnifique.................... (you tube tatar ivan and denys de c. genfi koncert) by ivan
