About this album

Live ! is a dazzling meeting point for three virtuoso improvisers, bringing together Larry Coryell, Philip Catherine and Joachim Kühn in a set of fluid jazz fusion and contemporary jazz. Recorded live and released in 1980, the album showcases the trio’s shared command of harmony, rhythm and spontaneous interaction, with guitar and piano lines constantly sparring, answering and redirecting one another. Coryell’s electric edge, Catherine’s lyrical precision and Kühn’s exploratory touch make the performances feel both disciplined and open-ended. It stands as a strong document of late-1970s fusion at its most conversational and adventurous.
