The two guitar icons Larry Coryell and Philipp Catherine share a long history and, despite their different musical backgrounds on both sides of the Atlantic, a close musical kinship. Recorded on January 27, 2017, as part of the "Jazz at Berlin Philharmonic" series, "The Last Call" is the final recording of Larry Coryell, who passed away four weeks later on February 19, 2017. It serves as an echo of a very special relationship between two highly accomplished guitarists, filled with creative compatibility, enthusiasm, and deep mutual understanding.
Philip Catherine
The guitarist Philip Catherine is a European jazz legend.
Born in 1942 in Belgium, he turned professional at the young
age of 17. He soon began touring with the likes of Lou Bennett, Dexter Gordon,
Jean-Luc Ponty, and then continued with Chet Baker (with whom he recorded six
albums), Tom Harrell, and many other greats.
Charles Mingus gave him the nickname "Young
Django," and the Süddeutsche Zeitung recently wrote about him, saying that
he "plays things that you can't currently hear from any other guitarist in
the world."
Part of what sets him apart is his impeccable sense of
timing, which makes even the most breathtakingly fast passages sound relaxed
and effortless. However, it's not just his technique and speed that make him a
virtuoso but also his distinctive acoustic guitar tone and an improvisational
style influenced not by guitarists but by the great jazz horn players.
