Larry Corban

Larry Corban is a New Jersey jazz guitarist, composer, and bandleader with 5 CDs out as a  bandleader. His rhythm section is the Aperturistic Trio (pianist James Weidman, bassist Harvie S, drummer Steve Williams). Alto saxophonist, Steve Slagle, guested for three cuts on his fourth cd, “Corban Nation.” On his fifth recording as a leader and third with the Aperturistic Trio, Larry wields his burgundy Gibson L-5 with a blend of unabashed swing on uptempo burners and tender lyricism on relaxed ballads. This time out the core quartet is augmented by tenor sax titan, Jerry Bergonzi, who elevates the proceedings with ferocious blowing on four tunes.
