O’s Notes: Larry Carlton is one of the most popular jazz guitarists with a long history that includes many top recordings. This collection draws upon that vault of material for the first volume of his Greatest Hits. What makes Larry so good is his warm attack. The notes are liquid and warm making the melodies inviting and easy to appreciate. He relaxes on “All In Good Time” and rocks on “Red Hot Poker”. But it is the smooth sounds of songs like “Kid Gloves”, “High Steppin'” and “Room 335” that make Carlton a living legend. They are all here and more on this super CD.
