Murali Coryell & Blue Lunch

Singer-guitarist Murali Coryell is more a rock guy than his father, jazz fusion great Larry Coryell. His rock sensibilities come across clearly on his new album, Live, which features tunes such as "In the Room with Jimi," a terrific hard rock tribute to the late great Jimi Hendrix. Jazz purists might not find much to their liking on the album but Coryell is a talented and versatile player equally capable of playing blues and rock. (Jeff Niesel)
