Larry Young - Contrasts - Jazz Organ

Larry Young (1940 - 1978) was the main driving force behind bringing the jazz organ from blues, hard bop and soul jazz into the modal territory and beyond. It is said that if Jimmy Smith was the Charlie Parker of jazz organ, Larry Young was its John Coltrane.

Contrastst is sometimes quite intense but also grooves.

Review by Scott Yanow
For this interesting set, organist Larry Young (the first musician on his instrument to really move beyond Jimmy Smith's soul-jazz into the avant-garde) mostly utilized lesser-known musicians from the Newark, NJ, area: Tyrone Washington and Herbert Morgan on tenors, flugelhornist Hank White, guitarist Eddie Wright, drummer Eddie Gladden, and Stacey Edwards on congas. "Major Affair" is an organ-drums duet and Larry's wife Althea Young does a haunting version of "Wild Is the Wind," while the other four selections use all of the horns. The adventurous music is sometimes quite intense but also grooves in its own eccentric way, offering listeners a very fresh sound on organ.
