By 1976 Larry Coryell was firmly established as one of America's most accomplished and innovative electric guitarists, and a pioneer of jazz-rock and fusion. However, he was equally talented on the acoustic guitar, as this superb solo live set indicates. Taped for broadcast on the local station WCUW-FM in Worcester, MA, at Clark University's Little Center on June 23, 1976, it's presented here in digitally remastered sound with background notes and images.

Amazingly, Larry Coryell's Eleventh House were somewhat overshadowed in their time by fusion counterparts such as Weather Report, Return to Forever, and The Mahavishnu Orchestra. However, the dynamics and interaction on display here feature not only beautifully intricate work, but ingenious melodic scales befitting musicians of the highest technical ability. While 1975's Level One never commercially achieved the classic status of its predecessor (Introducing the Eleventh House with Larry Coryell), it is an excellent follow-up piece that captures the band at their creative and technical peak, a peak that would spill onto the stage at Boston's Jazz Workshop where the band delivered a milestone performance in jazz-rock fusion that truly deserves wider recognition. This is the entire FM broadcast of the Eleventh House's performance at the Jazz Workshop, Boston, MA, on July 31, 1975. Professionally remastered; includes background liners and rare archival photographs.
