Cedars of Avalon is an album by guitarist Larry Coryell, recorded in 2001 and released on the HighNote label the following year.

Reception

In his review on AllMusic, Ken Dryden states "One gets the feeling that the musicians were so comfortable playing together that they were actually a working quartet; the feeling of each track is of first-take freshness while being as close to perfection as possible... This is yet another outstanding release by Larry Coryell". On All About Jazz, C. Andrew Hovan called it a "most enjoyable mainstream set that might surprise some Coryell fanatics but which will easily please all".
