Spaces is an album by jazz guitarist Larry Coryell that was released in 1970 by Vanguard Records.
Coryell is accompanied by John McLaughlin on guitar, Chick Corea on electric piano, Miroslav Vitouš on bass, and Billy Cobham on drums.
They had definitely been taking some different approaches to the music at that session, because when I threw down the first piece, “Tyrone” by Larry Young, the cats did not play it straight.
It just took a while to get comfortable with each other and the material…Spaces did not do that great upon initial release, but when Vanguard reissued it a few years later, it sold 250,000 copies.
Not bad for a record that sounded very little like traditional jazz and nothing like rock.’ Two discarded tracks from the two-day Spaces sessions, ‘Tyrone’ and ‘Planet End’ were released on Planet End in 1975, along with contemporary material by Coryell's then-current band The Eleventh House.
