Larry Young • Contrasts

 

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.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Para este interesante set, el organista Larry Young (el primer músico de su instrumento que realmente pasó del soul-jazz de Jimmy Smith a la vanguardia) utilizó sobre todo a músicos menos conocidos de la zona de Newark, NJ: Tyrone Washington y Herbert Morgan a los tenores, el fliscornista Hank White, el guitarrista Eddie Wright, el batería Eddie Gladden y Stacey Edwards a las congas. "Major Affair" es un dúo de órgano y batería, y la esposa de Larry, Althea Young, hace una inquietante versión de "Wild Is the Wind", mientras que en las otras cuatro selecciones intervienen todas las trompas. La música aventurera es a veces bastante intensa, pero también se mueve a su manera excéntrica, ofreciendo a los oyentes un sonido de órgano muy fresco.
