Title - Tricycles [Vinyl 2LP]
Artist - Larry Coryell
IN+OUT Records continues its Vinyl Release Program with reissues by Ron Carter & Richard Galliano, Larry Coryell, Roberta Gambarini and Paul Kuhn.
All four albums, which are available now, are made with 180-gram Black Virgin Vinyl and pressed at Germany’s premium pressing plant, Optimal Media.
The albums, which all include High Quality Glossy Finished Gatefold Covers and Poly-lined and Printed Inner Sleeves, were mastered at Organic Studio in Germany by Thorsten Scheffner.
Furthermore, some of the albums are released as Limited Audiophile Signature Edition: Original Signature by Artist, Hand-numbered, Limited to 999 or 1999 copies worldwide.
For those unaware, a milestone in the discography of Larry Coryell, and remixed and remastered from the original tapes exclusively for the Deluxe Edition by sound engineer Winnie Leyh, who has played a major role in the excellent sound of numerous IN+OUT releases, Tricycles is out now.
When a jazz trio in the worst possible physical condition manages an outstanding studio session, they must be exceptional musicians. Flu-ridden, Larry Coryell, Mark Egan and Paul Wertico completed their autumn tour of stormy Europe in 2002 and finally found themselves in a studio near Frankfurt to record this album.
This wondrous Deluxe Edition was remixed and remastered from the original recordings and now even includes two previously unreleased bonus tracks.
Side A:
1. Immer Geradeaus
2. Quasimodo
3. Good Citizen Swallow
Side B:
4. Tricycles
5. Stable Fantasy
6. Spaces Revisited
Side C:
1. ’Round Midnight
2. Three Way Split
3. Well You Needn’t
Side D:
4. Dragon Gate
5. Rhapsody And Blues
6. She’s Leaving Home
The first of the Deluxe Edition vinyl double set, one that is, overall, a mesmerizing, simply splendorous, veritably regal recording, opens on the finger-snapper, foot-tapping, funky Immer Geradeaus and the drum-led vibrancy of Quasimodo and then over both sides proceeds to lovingly bring us the vibrant Good Citizen Swallow, the mood-setting, titular Tricycles, and then come the smooth as silk rhythms within Stable Fantasy and the drum-led Spaces Revisited.
Putting the luxurious second vinyl of the set on the turntable, along next is the expansively seductive ’Round Midnight and the drum-led, frenetically-charged Three Way Split, and then comes the melodic bounce of Well You Needn’t, the dutiful hipsway found within Dragon Gate, the album rounding out on the heavily concupiscent Rhapsody And Blues, coming to a close on the ornately-sculpted She’s Leaving Home.
