This is a strong jazz-oriented date that features
Larry Coryell exclusively on acoustic guitar, playing two standard blues unaccompanied, using one or two overdubs on six other tracks and performing a pair of duets with fellow guitarist
Stefan Grossman. The music covers a bit of ground from a superior version of "Giant Steps" and tributes to
Wes Montgomery and
Duke Ellington to some introspective originals, one of which hints at
Bob Dylan. The original LP issue also includes a 16-page pamphlet with transcriptions (for guitar) of each of the melodies except "Giant Steps." Recommended, especially to guitarists and those who primarily associate
Larry Coryell with fusion. ~ Scott Yanow
