Larry Coryell

Founded in 1967, the Montreux Jazz Festival has established itself as one of the most prestigious annual music events in the world. The extraordinary list of artists who have played there is drawn from across the musical spectrum and from around the world. Super Guitar Trio brings together three legends of jazz guitar: Larry Coryell, Al Di Meola & Bireli Lagrene. These three virtuoso musicians have collaborated at various times in their career but this concert from 1989 comes from the only tour they have done together as a trio.

In 1979 and 1980 three world renowned guitarists, recognized as the finest exponents of their individual styles, John McLaughlin, Larry Coryell and Paco De Lucia formed a guitar super trio and toured Europe. The spell-binding quality of the music that the collaboration created as an ensemble and the dazzling audience reaction to the performances has never been surpassed and has rightfully passed into Jazz folklore.
