Larry Coryell & Philip Catherine "Twin House" 1976-'77


Twin House is a collaborative album by the American guitarist Larry Coryell and the Belgian guitarist Philip Catherine, which was released by Atlantic Records in 1977. The duo recorded a second album, Splendid, in 1978..

AllMusic awarded the album with 4 stars and its review by Robert Taylor states: "The first of two fine guitar duet recordings with Phillip Catherine. Of the two, Catherine's sound is more rooted in the tradition of Django Reinhardt and tends to be more introspective. Coryell is his usual incorrigible self; however, Catherine's presence seemed to inspire more experimentation and intelligent playing on Coryell's part".
