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. The album was produced by Daniel Weiss and engineered by David Baker and Paul Berkowitz.
The album is sometimes considered to have started the jazz fusion genre. All of the participating musicians went on to form prominent fusion bands in the 1970s: McLaughlin and Cobham co-founded Mahavishnu Orchestra, Corea founded Return to Forever, Vitouš formed Weather Report (with Wayne Shorter and Joe Zawinul), and Coryell himself went on to start his own group The Eleventh House in 1972.
