A pleasure having Larry Coryell play with us at the Telluride Jazz Celebration. We managed to squeeze a quick photo op into the schmoozefest. Here's Larry, Buddy and me. Telluride, CO. 08/06/06. Red Holloway and me. At LAFX recording studio. Between takes on the John Mayall tribute to Freddie King record due out early 2007. Los Angeles, CA. 07/04/06.
