THE FRANCIS WOLFF COLLECTION: LP 180g VINYL IN GATEFOLD SLEEVES
LARRY YOUNG / YOUNG BLUES
Newark-born organist Larry Young (October 7, 1940 - March 30, 1978) pioneered a modal approach to the Hammond B-3 (in contrast to Jimmy Smith's soul jazz style). Young played with various R&B bands in the 1950s before gaining jazz experience with Jimmy Forrest, Lou Donaldson, Kenny Dorham, Hank Mobley and Tommy Turrentine. Recording as a leader for Prestige from 1960, Young made several soul/jazz discs, 'Testifying, Young Blues' (presented here) and Groove Street. When Young signed with Blue Note around 1964, his music began to show the marked influence of John Coltrane. He then became a part of some of the earliest fusion groups; first on Emergency! with the Tony Williams' Lifetime (with Tony Williams and John McLaughlin) and on Miles Davis's Bitches Brew. 'Young Blues' was Young's second album as a leader.
