Album Review:
Produced by Bob Thiele and recorded at Electric Lady studios with engineer Eddie Kramer, Barefoot Boy is one of Larry Coryell's finest recordings as a leader. "Gypsy Queen" was recorded prior to bassist Mervin Bronson's arrival at the studio, and features the percussion section locking into a groove over which Coryell lays down a riff and Steve Marcus cuts loose with a fiery soprano sax solo. When it's his turn to solo on this opening number, Coryell turns up the heat, sounding like a cross between Jimi Hendrix and Sonny Sharrock. (Coryell played with Sharrock on Herbie Mann's Memphis Underground.) "The Great Escape" finds Coryell cooking over a bass and percussion groove, with Marcus on tenor sax. "Call to the Higher Consciousness" is a side-long 20-minute jam in which all the players take a ride, with Marcus once again cooking on the soprano sax. Roy Haynes is superb throughout, working in tandem with the percussionists to keep the music moving. This recording is a noteworthy example of the possibilities inherent in the early days of fusion, blending the electrifying energy of rock with the improvisational excitement of jazz.  Allmusic
Our Comments:
Music always well received by us from when it was released in 1971, we find it perhaps even more interesting today.  Very energetic.  Coryell, to us, was a jazz guitarist and we didn't think in terms of 'fusion' or 'jazz/rock' in 1971.  This simply belonged in 'Jazz' and still does.  Great stuff out on the edge 45 years later.  Haynes is noteworthy and remarkable player to have on drums for this session.   FYI 2nd side 20 minute track is 'straight ahead' jazz as defined in 1960's by Coltrane, Miles D and others.  Very nice guitar work.  Side A is more toward that jazz/rock/fusion 'tag' that gets put to this one.
