About
Larry Coryell opens with two choruses on electric guitar, the first of two solos, followed by Joey DeFrancesco on organ. Taken at a medium swing tempo of 130 BPM over the 32-bar ABAC in B♭, the improvisation unfolds with comfortable, easygoing swing. Coryell's two-chorus guitar solo at 130 beats per minute combines melodic grace with harmonic sophistication, his phrasing conversational and relaxed as he explores the standard's romantic chord changes. Recorded for the album Wonderful! Wonderful! in 2012, the performance captures Larry Coryell at 68 to 69 years old. Victor Young's "Love Letters" is given a warm, medium-swing treatment on Joey DeFrancesco's 2012 album Wonderful! Wonderful!, with guitarist Larry Coryell and the organist sharing the solo space over the 32-bar ABAC form in B-flat major.
Larry Coryell was 68 to 69 years old at the time.
