Larry Young • Into Somethin'

While most practitioners of the instrument have followed closely on the heels of Jimmy Smith, on Into Somethin', Larry Young demonstrates his unique horn-like approach to melody. With the help of Sam Rivers (saxophone), Grant Green (guitar), and Elvin Jones (drums), Young puts forth a swinging collection of tunes that isn't particularly drenched in the traditional gospel/soul sound usually produced by an organ ensemble. Instead, this is a crisp, exciting session that, along with Unity, would eventually help make Young one of the legends of the B-3. The effortless waltzing bounce of "Tyrone" opens the set as Rivers and Young glide through the melody while Jones swings intensely in the background. The heavy Latin groove of "Plaza de Toros" sets up some stunning rhythmic interactions between Grant, Young, and Jones. The intricate "Paris Eyes" and the bluesy "Backup" are both excellent swinging numbers that further display Young's non-traditional approach to the instrument and his masterful soloing prowess. Finally, the classic "Ritha" is an exhilarating composition that displays the full wealth of Young's legendary abilities.

Mientras que la mayoría de los practicantes del instrumento han seguido de cerca los pasos de Jimmy Smith, en Into Somethin', Larry Young demuestra su enfoque único de la melodía, similar al de las trompetas. Con la ayuda de Sam Rivers (saxofón), Grant Green (guitarra), y Elvin Jones (batería), Young presenta una colección de melodías que no está particularmente empapada en el tradicional sonido de gospel/soul que normalmente produce un conjunto de órgano. En su lugar, esta es una sesión nítida y emocionante que, junto con Unity, ayudaría eventualmente a convertir a Young en una de las leyendas del B-3. El rebote de vals sin esfuerzo de "Tyrone" abre el set mientras Rivers y Young se deslizan por la melodía mientras Jones se balancea intensamente en el fondo. El pesado ritmo latino de "Plaza de Toros" establece algunas sorprendentes interacciones rítmicas entre Grant, Young y Jones. Los intrincados "Paris Eyes" y el bluesero "Backup" son ambos excelentes números de swing que muestran aún más el enfoque no tradicional de Young hacia el instrumento y su magistral destreza como solista. Por último, el clásico "Ritha" es una estimulante composición que muestra toda la riqueza de las legendarias habilidades de Young.
