Two Jazz Guitar Elder Statesmen Smoke the Blues

Fareed Haque and Larry Coryell are two of the elder statesmen of Jazz fusion guitar. I have never heard Fareed Haque play live but I did hear Larry Coryell many years ago on the Union Terrace in Madison, WI. Playing on the Union Terrace is quite a treat for musicians (check out the setup here with the musicians on stage and Lake Mendota behind). The acoustics are great and the audience is always appreciative. Larry Coryell seemed to be having a great time, although I don't really recognize him from the clip above with a head of white hair!

Is anyone else really knocked out by Fareed Haque's playing? Want to know how?
