	Larry Young - Biography - AOL Music
		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.
		But when Young went to Blue Note in 1964, he was well on his way to becoming a major innovator.
		Young was only 38 when, in 1978, he checked into the hospital suffering from stomach pains, and died from untreated pneumonia.

		Organist Larry Young, who really found his own sound back in 1965 with the classic Unity album, is deep in the funk on this later Blue Note album (which has been included in the Mosaic box set The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Larry Young).
		Larry Young, who like most organists originally sounded close to Jimmy Smith, took a big step away from the organ's dominant influence on this adventurous and colorful set, which was his debut as a leader for Blue Note.
		Larry Young's third and final Prestige recording (reissued in the OJC series on CD) concludes his early period; he would next record as a leader two and a half years later on Blue Note, by which time his style would be much more original.

		Larry Young was the first Organist to start to break away from the Jimmy Smith tradition.
		Larry played the Organ more like a piano so he constructs his solos on lines more than sticking to the more chordal improvisation that was so heavily used by Smith and others.
		Larry Young was in his mid-20s when he recorded Unity for Blue Note in late 1965 with a small but powerful unit - Joe Henderson, who had already cut one or two classic albums with Blue Note under other leaders, the firmly established Elvin Jones, and a 20-year-old, super-talented trumpeter and composer, Woody Shaw.

		Young had been a straightforward protégé of Jimmy Smith prior to his Blue Note years, and he later went full-tilt into fusion, eventually joining Tony Williams's Lifetime for their rightly named debut, Emergency.
		No Larry Young originals here, but three by Shaw and one by Henderson which are wonderful new (at the time) compositions that have become those type of "standards" that get played from time to time but aren't in the Real Book and don't exactly get called at wedding gigs.
		Larry Young created an ensemble around himself that works to create unified pieces of music in a modern jazz style that owes more to John Coltrane than Jimmy Smith.

	Unity - Larry Young - Song Listings
		On his sophomore date as a leader, jazz organist Larry Young began to display some of the angular drive that made him a natural for the jazz-rock explosion to come barely four years later.
		All of these are Young trademarks, displayed when he was still very young, yet enough of a wiseacre to try to drive a group of musicians as seasoned as this -- and he succeeded each and every time.
		As a soloist, Young is at his best on Shaw's "Beyond All Limits" and the classic nugget "Softly as in a Morning Sunrise." In his breaks, Young uses the middle register as a place of departure, staggering arpeggios against chords against harmonic inversions that swing plenty and still comes out at all angles.

	Larry Young - The Art Of Larry Young (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The Thelonious Monk composition, played by Young and Jones only, is as inspired as any duo music of the period; while Shaw's now-standard "The Moontrane" (another Coltrane tribute) is one of three important compositions by the trumpeter that received their debut on this legendary session.
		Young's reading of "Seven Steps To Heaven" pushed Victor Feldman's already-open modal structure in even freer directions, and features the intense efforts of trumpeter Eddie Gale (a member of Cecil Taylor's Unit at the time), Blue Note stalwart James Spaulding on alto and tenor saxophonist Herbert Morgan, plus two drummers.
		The tragedy of Larry Young's final years left many with the impression that he was no more than one of many promising young players that fusion had spoiled.

		With drummer Elvin Jones powering the quartet, the music cruises along, but Young's free-flying organ is the most striking point, with its fall-apart deconstructions and its architecturally complex solos and melody statements.
		Larry Young was one of the greatest of organists--"the Coltrane of the organ", as he's been called.
		Young died at the age of 37 in 1978 (of pneumonia, contracted while in hospital for routine surgery) before he could turn his career around--one of the greatest losses to the music in recent decades.

	Ken Burns JAZZ On Fusion
		I mean Weather Report truly did fuse jazz traditions with rock traditions, with some rhythm and blues with world music, but you never got the sense with Weather Report that the fusion was artificial or scientific.
		So, instead of being the kind of challenge that jazz normally is where people are listening to each other and trying to solo but complement at the same time, just became playing tennis without a net.
		Now the thing about jazz music is that it’s not a matter of any particular groove but it’s what you choose to do a majority of the time.

		Young's organ dominates all tracks, but Sanders is also a quite big part of things.
		Spaceball, while not nearly as dense and wild as Young's work from the first coupla years into the 70s, does contain some mighty moments of funky kozmik jazz.
		The first cut, "Moonwalk" is a sweet hyperkinetic groove of heavy percussion, with moog organ and flute dancing in and out. "Startripper" is weirdass machine-driven exotica.

		Also, there is a one-disc overview of Young's BN output called "The Art of Larry Young", which is also out of print, but does still turn up on eBay now and again.
		Im sure some Larry Young RVGs must be due for those of us that were too late to pick up the mosaic.

	Karen Gallinger - Reviews
		How Gallinger, a fixture on the OC jazz scene for the past dozen years, came to do a project focused on the late, revered pianist from New Jersey is a story in itself, sprinkled with coincidence, sudden inspiration and chance encounters.
		That gave me instant credibility." As a jazz singer, Gallinger has been heard in a number of local venues over the past decade; her appearance at the Orange County Musicians Association¹s annual fund-raiser in November with pianist Jack Reidling is particularly memorable.
		She combines a voice of extraordinary range and quality, the jazz* conception of an instrumentalist, and the versatility to be impressive singing a large variety of material.
