About this album

Planet End shows Larry Coryell sharpening his jazz-rock fusion into a more direct, electric statement. Issued in 1975, the album sits firmly in the mid-70s period when Coryell was helping define fusion as something that could be melodic, muscular and restless without losing jazz fluency. Across pieces such as "Cover Girl" and the title track, his guitar lines move between hard-edged riffing and nimble improvisation, backed by a band sound that keeps rock energy and jazz vocabulary in close tension. It is a strong example of Coryell’s role in making fusion feel outward-looking rather than purely technical.
