Through Music Video Distributors

3-Jan-03

Music Video Distributors and In-Akustik are pleased to announce the home viewing release of ìLarry Carlton - In Concertî for North American distribution on DVD. Itís lucky that professional musicians donít have to write applications to join a session, because Larry Carltonís wouldnít just be a folder with a few loose sheets in it, but more like a small book. Even for a ìmusicianís musician,î the American guitarist has a prodigious output of recordings and an almost supernatural musical determination. In 1988, while recording ìOn Solid Ground,î Larry Carlton was seriously wounded when caught up in a random shooting outside his studio door. After an emergency operation he underwent months of intensive therapy, but thanks to his willpower, this exceptional musician has since made a full recovery. This traumatic experience has had no audible effects on his work. Carlton still tours around the world and makes studio recordings as brilliantly played as they are deeply felt. Fleet-fingered Larry has been performing magic on the strings for more than three decades now sometimes gently and with feeling, sometimes faster and more determined. Sometimes he plays in a jazz context, at other times for blues, rock, folk, pop and soundtrack productions. Sometimes he works for other well-known artists, and sometimes under his own name, and it doesnít look as if this ìguitaristís guitaristî will be going into retirement soonÖ This performance was filmed at Ohne Filter Studios in Germany on October 11, 1984. The tracks include: Strikes Twice Blues Under Iím A Fool Last Nite Rio Samba I Gotta Right ëDí Modal Thang Room 335 This DVD performance features Larry Carlton (Guitar, Vocals), Terry trotter (Keyboards), Brian Mann (Keyboards), Rick Marotta (Drums), Michael Fisher (Percussion), John Patitucci (Bass), and Johnny Mars (Harp on Track 6).
