Title: Excellent
Review: If you like that 1960s, soundtrack-y feel you hear when they shot a scene at a teen dance, or if you like bluesy jazz, the Dealer is a great albumI am not minimizing how great this is by the soundtrack compairson. A lot of this is bluesy boogaloo, fantastic dance music driven by Chico Hamilton's perpulsive drums. All of this is extremely well played.But what makes The Dealer so good is--do I even have to tell you, Larry Coryell. Coryell is an interesting choice here; this is pretty straight forward music. Hamilton could have as easily drafted Wes Montgomery, Joe Pas, Kenny Burrel, any number of guitar players.But hearing Coryell's wiz kid, almost abstract guitar playing--complication beneath the simplicity of the blues layers, is quite a treat. It lends a strange but comelling abstraction to this otherwise delectablly accessable music.
