Andy's, Chicago (312) 642-6805 Spotlight Shows May 21st and 22nd 8pm & 10:30pm *Larry Coryell* is one of the world's acknowledged guitar masters. He has recorded more than 70 albums over the past 35 years as a bandleader, soloist and 'featured accompanist'. Hailed by his legion of fans as one of "the guitar gods" in the late 1970s and as a "truly Renaissance musician who excels at all styles of playing", he has also been christened as "a true pioneer of rock-jazz fusion" by the New York Times, and dubbed "the Godfather of Fusion" by Dan Ouellette of Down Beat Magazine. Buy Tickets June 11th and 12th 8pm & 10:30pm *Mulgrew Miller* continues to be a vital contributor in the world of Jazz. His impact upon the scene since his arrival in the late seventies has been made through his many recordings and his tenure with some of the most important bands of the eighties and nineties. Although highly esteemed as a skilled, swinging accompanist and inventive soloist for many years, by veterans and "young lions" alike, Mulgrew has emerged as a leader of vision and a significant composer. He has in recent years appeared throughout Europe, Japan, Australia, Canada and the U.S. with his own trio, and his reputable quintet "Wingspan".
