NYC: BLUE NOTE DOUBLE FEATURE: PAT MARTINO ORGAN TRIO & LARRY CORYELL / VIC JURIS DUO
The Pat Martino Organ Trio and The Larry Coryell / Vic Juris Duo will perform in "Double Feature: format at THE BLUE NOTE (131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592) on Tuesday through Sunday, January 20th through 25th with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. One of the greatest guitarists in jazz, Martino got his start on the "chitlin' circuit" in the 1960s with organ groups led by Richard "Groove" Holmes, Jack McDuff, Don Patterson, Trudy Pitts and Charles Earland. Having made a full and remarkable recovery from a life-threatening illness in the 1980's that caused him to forget how to play the guitar, Martino relearned by listening to his own early recordings and has re-emerged as a veteran presence on the jazz scene. Today Martino lives in his native Philadelphia and his playing is as fiery and technically brilliant as ever. One of the world's acknowledged guitar masters, Larry Coryell is among the most prominent pioneers of jazz-rock fusion. A true musical polyglot, he's equally capable of shredding screeching rock licks and delivering delicate acoustic gems. He has toured or recorded with virtually every major figure in the jazz world, including Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker, Chick Corea, Sonny Rollins, Pat Metheny, Gary Burton, and Charles Mingus. Coryell made his debut as a leader in the mid-'60s, blending elements of rock, jazz, and Eastern music with his band The Eleventh House. He unplugged in the mid-'70s and produced a large volume of acoustic music, much of it in duo and trio settings with artists like Emily Remler, John Scofield, Joe Beck, Steve Khan, and John McLaughlin. He returned to the electric sound in the mid-'80s with a guitar power trio featuring McLaughlin and Paco de Lucea. Forever an innovator, he continues to cross boundaries of style and genre with his music. There is a $20-$35 cover.
