Larry Young - Contrasts '1967/2014

Tracks list

For this interesting set, organist Larry Young (the first musician on his
instrument to really move beyond Jimmy Smiths 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 Larrys 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.
