Fairyland
has long been a favorite among fans of
Larry Coryell
's jazz-rock days. The stripped-down trio format allows
Coryell
plenty of solo space. He actually sings quite effectively on the first two tracks, but more effective are the torrents of 18th notes, mutated blues licks, and avant-garde sound textures that emanate from his guitar.
"Further Explorations for Albert Stinson"
is a later incarnation of
"The Jam With Albert,"
which is a staple of
jazz-rock compilations. A rewarding listen. ~ Wilson McCloy
