Just as Joni Mitchell is returning to the public eye, Larry Carlton—who played on four of her albums—is preparing to hang it up.

When he wasn’t spending time in jazz fusion band The Crusaders, the 76-year-old guitar whiz’s resume remained massive, including collaborations with Michael Jackson, Steely Dan, and Dolly Parton.

Most of Carlton’s farewell tour selections don’t relate with his time playing in the mainstream, but surely a few stories here and there about Walter Becker and Donald Fagen will pop up.

Tickets to see Larry Carlton play Largo’s Central Park Performing Arts Center on Sunday, June 30 are sold-out.
