A blistering set of jazz, blues and classic rock anthems, Electric announces the arrival of this incredible supergroup/power trio. Featuring guitarist Larry Coryell, bassist Victor Bailey and drummer Lenny White, the amazing dynamics of this uncompressed recording, entitled simply “Electric”, place you front and center for a blistering performance featuring jazz, blues and rock anthems by one of the world’s greatest electric power trios. You’ll get covers of Led Zeppelin (“Black Dog”), Miles Davis’ classic “So What”), and Booker T. Jones’ “Born Under A Bad Sign”, as well as a James Brown hit (“Sex Machine”), a Wayne Shorter tune (“Footprints”), as well as Coryell, White and Bailey original tracks tp enliven the mix. “We tried to straddle the lines between ‘jazz’, ‘rock’, ‘funk’ and ‘fusion’ and whatever other names people want to put on music,” comments Bailey.”This trio set featuring guitarist Larry Coryell, drummer Lenny White, and bassist Victor Bailey is issued by Chesky, purveyor of uncompressed audiophile recordings. And while the sound is wondrous, it’s the performances here that take front and center. The mix of jazz, funk, and rock tunes on Electric is infectious, especially when played with such incendiary inspiration. Members of this trio wrote four of the nine tunes here. White’s furied funk freak-out “Wolfsbane” opens the proceeding on a hot note, and Coryell’s “BB Blues” takes the jazz-inflected blues to a new intensity. But it is the covers here that really resonate, from a skeletal and edgy reading of Miles Davis’ “So What,” to Wayne Shorter’s signature tune “Footprints,” the jazz chops and expansive improvisation are present everywhere. On Sly and the Family Stone’s “Sex Machine” and the Page & Plant nugget “Black Dog,” the pedal to the metal aesthetic really works. Elsewhere, “Born Under a Bad Sign” is dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century without losing its blues fire. This is not a recording for those looking for Coryell’s jazz technique and subtle artistry in interpreting music from the days of yore. Listeners looking for a balls-out charge of electric jazz-rock will be more than delighted by this outing.” (Thom Jurek, AMG)
