Larry Coryell (1943 – 2017)
http://www.larrycoryell.net/
As one of the pioneers of jazz-rock -- perhaps THE pioneer in the ears of some - Larry Coryell deserves a special place in the history books. He brought what amounted to a nearly alien sensibility to jazz electric guitar playing in the 1960s; a hard-edged, cutting tone, and phrasing and note-bending that owed as much to blues, rock and even country as it did to earlier, smoother bop influences. Yet as a true eclectic, armed with a brilliant technique, he was comfortable in almost every style, covering almost every base from the most decibel-heavy, distortion-laden electric work to the most delicate, soothing, intricate lines on acoustic guitar. Coryell has graced the stages of other legends like Hendrix, Santana, and Clapton. A legend in his own time, and in times to come.

Murali Coryell / www.muralicoryell.com
Murali Coryell is a triple threat contemporary blues artist - singing, writing and playing guitar with the best in the business. As the son of legendary guitarist, Larry Coryell, Murali grew up around Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, & Carlos Santana. In 1995, Murali joined Duke Robillard’s touring band and was quickly signed as a solo artist resulting in the Stax/Volt influenced “Eyes Wide Open”. In 1999 Murali recorded “2120” for Marshall Chess, for which Rolling Stone named Murali “One promising new hound”. Over the years Murali toured with father and with Joe Louis Walker as a featured artist and appeared many times as a supporting act for B.B. King.
