About
Larry Coryell leads off the solos with seven choruses on electric guitar, the first of three improvisations on the recording. Taken at a medium-up swing tempo of 176 BPM over the 12-bar Blues in C, the improvisation flows with assured, relaxed momentum. Guitarist Larry Coryell opens with seven choruses of blues-drenched improvisation over the 12-bar form in C minor at 176 beats per minute, his playing combining the grit of his jazz-rock roots with sophisticated harmonic awareness. Recorded for the album Wonderful! Wonderful! in 2012, the performance captures Larry Coryell at 68 to 69 years old. "Five Spot After Dark" is a swing composition written by Benny Golson in 1959, one of eight jazz standards for which Golson is solely responsible as composer.
