He has dozens and dozens of albums in his heaving back catalogue. And yet it’s hardly an everyday event when there is a new album from jazz fusion hero Larry Coryell on the horizon.

That makes Barefoot Man: Sanpaku a bit of an event. Original compositions are the name of the game here and you can listen to the funky ‘Sanpaku,’ above.

Pianist Lynne Arriale, longtime Coryell collaborator John Lee on bass, Dan Jordan on saxophone and flute, and drummer Lee Pierson join Coryell for the 13 October release.

Coryell will play the Cork Jazz Festival in Ireland on 30 October. FESTIVAL website
