ABOUT ABOUT
Rare Philadelphia appearance by jazz and fusion pioneer LARRY CORYELL with Victor Bailey; Jim Dragoni opener at THE STAGECRAFTERS THEATER in Chestnut Hill. After the sold out performance by Mose Allison, The Stagecrafters has proven to be superb venue for a small concert. Excellent acoustics, great sight lines and ambiance with catering by Roller's Flying Fish. Full cash bar and appetizers will be on hand. Larry Coryell has been referred to as the 'Godfather of Fusion', having been one of the prime movers of that genre along with Miles Davis and John McLaughlin as they shook the music world in the 70's and beyond. Coryell has explored many genres since then, including Indian classical music, blues, classical and hybrids of his own making. Coryell's performances are incendiary, inspiring and filled with surprises and wonderment. Victor Bailey is one of the premiere American Bassists having played with Weather Report and dozens of other A-List jazz stars over the past two decades. Don't miss this rare opportunity to see this world class star in a great venue in one of Philadelphia's most desirable locations.
