Album Notes & Community Reviews

Guitarist Larry Coryell strips back the high-volume electric excess of his fusion band The Eleventh House for a largely acoustic, contemplative session. The recording emphasizes intricate fingerpicking and complex harmonic explorations, bridging the gap between traditional jazz and emerging acoustic crossover styles.
