If Jimmy Smith was "the Charlie Parker of the organ," Larry Young was its John Coltrane. One of the great innovators of the mid- to late '60s, Young fashioned a distinctive modal approach to the Hammond B-3 at a time when Smith's earthy, blues-drenched soul-jazz style was the instrument's dominant voice. Initially, Young was very much a Smith admirer himself. After playing with various R&B bands in the 1950s and being featured as a sideman with tenor saxman Jimmy Forrest in 1960, Young debuted as a leader that year with Testifying, which, like his subsequent soul-jazz efforts for Prestige, Young Blues (1960), and Groove Street, (1962), left no doubt that Smith was his primary inspiration. But when Young went to Blue Note in 1964, he was well on his way to becoming a major innovator. Coltrane's post-bop influence asserted itself more and more in Young's playing and composing, and his work grew much more cerebral and exploratory. Unity, recorded in 1965, remains his best-known album. Quick to embrace fusion, Young played with Miles Davis in 1969, John McLaughlin in 1970, and Tony Williams' groundbreaking Lifetime in the early '70s. Unfortunately, his work turned uneven and erratic as the '70s progressed. Young was only 38 when, in 1978, he checked into the hospital suffering from stomach pains, and died from untreated pneumonia. The Hammond hero's work for Blue Note (as both a leader and a sideman) was united for Mosaic's limited-edition six-CD box set The Complete Blue Note Recordings. |

Bajo la mirada atenta de su padre, Larry Young se dedicó desde niño al aprendizaje del órgano, instrumento que su progenitor tocaba en una iglesia baptista de Newwark. Al mismo tiempo una profesora le enseñaba piano. Su aparición en la escena jazzistica no se produjo hasta 1957 y sus comienzos fueron alrededor de grupos procedentes del Rhythm and Blues a principios de los años sesenta. En 1964 tuvo la oportunidad de realizar una gira por Europa deteniéndose durante dos meses en Paris y uno en Alemania donde grabó junto a Nathan Davis para el sello Saba. |
|||
En 1965 su carrera dio un avance espectacular cuando recomendado por el maestro Jimmie Smith, grabó para Blue Note, el disco "Into Something!" que le ayudó a darse a conocer en el entorno de los músicos de jazz. Su carrera discográfica comenzó años atrás cuando en 1960 grabó dos álbumes para el sello New Jazz: "Testifying" y "Young Blues". En 1962 grabó para Prestige, el álbum "Groove Street" y a partir de 1964 y hasta 1969 fue en Blue Note donde dejó sus mejores registros. Organista muy creativo, fue capaz de encontrar un sonido propio que le diferenciaba de la forma de tocar de otros organistas. Innovador e influenciado por las ideas musicales de John Coltrane, siguió por el camino que dejó marcado el famoso saxo tenor. Su colaboración musical y sus ideas avanzadas le llevó a colaborar con músicos de una generación posterior a la suya como el guitarrista, John McLaughin o el baterista, Tony Williams. |

Larry Young también fue un destacado compositor y algunas de las mas celebres se han convertido con el paso del tiempo en auténticos estándares del jazz como: "Paris Eyes" o "Backup". Una trágica enfermedad le retiró de la escena muriendo de neumonía en marzo de 1978 con apenas 37 años. |

A true innovator on the Hammond B3, Young took a different musical path than any of the other organ masters of his time: Although he started out drawing his major influences from the work of Jimmy Smith and the gospel and blues elements that other players employed, but eventually turned to a more complex, modal approach to the organ with sophisticated harmonic and chordal structure |
|||
Larry Young was born on October 7, 1940, and hails from Newark, New Jersey. His background includes study of both classical and jazz music on the piano, but had a natural family bond with the organ. Larry Young, Senior, his father, was an organist and was the first major musical influence on his son. The father, moreover, provided an organ in the family home so that Larry Young, Junior, who had studied piano, could gravitate easily and at his own pace to the organ. In his teen years, Young was relatively inactive musically; but a reawakened interest in the organ, encouraged by his father, propelled Young into music in 1958. After a rhythm and blues apprenticeship, Young gained wider experience with Lou Donaldson; worked around New York and New Jersey with Kenny Dorham, Hank Mobley and Tommy Turrentine , among others; and then began heading his own units. |
|||
He recorded his first sides for Prestige in 1960 with the offering “Testifying,” followed up with “Young Blues,” the same year, then into “Groove Street,” in ’62. He jumped over to the Blue Note label, and in ’64 put out “Into Somethin.” Young's premier album is thought to be “Unity”, with Joe Henderson, Woody Shaw , and Elvin Jones, which came out in 1965. This is considered to be his best outing, and still holds up as a hard bop organ classic. Young’s work for Blue Note (as both a leader and a sideman) was compiled for Mosaic's limited-edition six- CD box set “The Complete Blue Note Recordings.” |
|||
Young was attracted to the novel concept of fusion, he played with Miles Davis in 1969, on the “Bitches Brew,” sessions, worked with John McLaughlin, and then Tony Williams' groundbreaking 'Lifetime' in the early '70's, where he was an important third of that band, one of the first jazz fusion groups. From here he recorded two solo albums for Arista, “Larry Young's Fuel,” (1975) and “Spaceball.” (1976) |
|||
Larry Young was only 38 when, in 1978, he checked into a hospital suffering from stomach pains, and died from untreated pneumonia. |
|||
He was technically superb, playing pedal bass, and independent left and right hands, but with a lighter touch than previous organists, often preferring to solo pianissimo, sometimes being only slightly audible over the drummer. Young also differed from his contemporaries in that he loved to play duets with the drummer, who was invariably his Newark pal, Eddie Gladden. |
|||
Young was the sole major transitional figure responsible for shifting away from the blues-based style of Jimmy Smith and moving toward a free approach, and he revolutionized the instrument comprehensively, in composition, arrangement, and technique. |
