I heard Greg Howe in '88. I loved his minor and major 7th tonality's. He mentioned LarryCarlton's "Sleep Walk" album. Man, that alum kicks ass. Larry has great feel and a very mature approach to technique and theory. He hits his desired mark nearly all the time. Great player !

Carlton's a great player but I find most of his studio stuff too conservative or "polished". I always think, "I know this guy can just wail, what's he waiting for?"
I'll have to check out "Sleep Walk". I haven't heard that one. The album I always enjoyed is a live recording called "Last Night". Great fusion/blues playing.

Yeah, I see what your saying, he can sometimes come off that way. I mean, he did write that theme song for "Who's The Boss" (ha,ha). Check out "Sleepwalk", it has amazing melodies and tone. On that album Larry reminds me of a jazzy Michael Schenker, although his tone is cleaner.

I discovered him quite late. I really like his bluesy stuff. This is great.
