Description
1983 TELEVISION SESSION BY TWO MUSIC LEGENDS
When session guitar supremo Larry Carlton first picked up the instrument at six years old he was already a huge music lover. Inspired to learn how to play jazz after hearing the great Joe Pass on the radio he would go on to study players such as Wes Montgomery and Barney Kessel to help him develop his passion further. However after being exposed to the legendary blues stylings of B.B. King his powerful influence helped shape Carlton’s playing into the all-rounder that he remains to this very day. So when the opportunity came to record a live television show with B.B. in 1983 Larry jumped at the chance. Titled “In Session” the 43-minute joint performance contains a mix of classic blues and fusion jams conversations on phrasing and performances of some favourites including; ‘The Thrill Is Gone’ ‘Hummingbird’ and ‘Rock Me Baby’ Finally released on this CD the entire set these incomparable musicians performed that hallowed evening more than 35 years ago is now available for all to hear.
