Vanguard, 1963. Used ... $9.99
Vanguard, 1971. Very Good+ ... $9.99
One of the most stripped-down records from the early years of Larry Coryell – but one of the most powerful, too – as the record sometimes has Larry singing along with his guitar, in an effortless blend of trippy rock and jazz!

Vanguard/Wounded Bird, Late 60s. New Copy ... $10.99 14.99
Early work from guitar genius Larry Coryell – and a set that's maybe not as basic as you'd guess from the title!

Vanguard, 1969. Very Good+ ... $18.99
Maybe the funkiest album that guitarist Larry Coryell ever cut – his debut as a leader, and a fuzzy, freaky set that features some massively heavy drums from the great Bernard Purdie!

Vanguard/Wounded Bird, 1972. New Copy ... $10.99 14.98
A fantastic record from guitarist Larry Coryell – one that maybe has him shedding some of the more rockish tendencies of his roots, while finding the way forward in a searing, searching style of funky jazz!

The mighty drummer Elvin Jones is working here with a very hip group – in a mode that's maybe a nice extension of his Blue Note material at the start of the 70s, in a style that shows that he definitely still has all of his groove!
