Free Music Review: Larry Unleashed: A collection of astounding jazz rock guitar solos
Hit: 5 Stars
Basic guidance first: this album rocks to hard for smooth jazz fans and is too smooth for hard rock fans. It is not jazz fusion a la Mahavishnu, Return to Forever or Weather Report.
However, if you like great jazz rock guitar solos and especially if you like the solos that Carlton provided to the Crusaders and Steely Dan ("Kid Charlamagne"), this is THE LARRY CARLTON disk.
In fact, I would say this is very much a guitar players album for those who like to blend jazz and blues and like to play with some distortion/sustain in their tone. Of course, these players need to have healthy self esteem about their playing: the solos on this album are humbling.
All of the trademark Carlton elements are here: unpredictable, but harmonically lyrical note choice, buttery distortion, masterful overtone feedback manipulation and, most of all, touch sensitivity in the extreme. Larry can go from bedroom quiet picking to Stevie Ray Vaughan screaming bends and all points in between.
Around the time this album came out, Larry was interviewed by Guitar Player magazine. What I remember most is him saying something to the effect that he wanted to show Jeff Beck, a new convert to the rock jazz scene, how it should be done on a tune call "Don't Give it Up."
On that tune, Larry does the most fanastic, stop-time guitar breaks I've ever heard. (Second place goes to Jimmy Page on "Whole Lotta Love.") Guitar hero game over!
