Larry Carlton (born 1948) is an American guitarist known for session work and solo albums spanning jazz, fusion and blues.

Reviewed material notes Carlton's extensive session work (Steely Dan, Donald Fagen), collaborations (B.B. King, Jeff Porcaro on some tracks), his acclaimed albums (e.g., Sapphire Blue) and a career recovery after a throat shooting that kept him off stage for a period.
