Soul Stream Posted June 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise is another of those mind-blowing Larry Young pieces. I was actually listening to it last night. He just deconstructs the hell out of that tune. wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kari S Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Adam Scone is also very, very convincing in that style... As is Bill Heid and Goldings obviously... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As is Bill Heid and Goldings obviously... ← Yes, Bill Heid is probably the best there is when it comes to the LY concept. Goldings and Yahel are also wonderful. And again, I think Jim Alfredson has a handle on this stuff as well as exhibited in his "Young's Dream" from their first CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soul Stream Posted June 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Man....Softly was killing me again today...when Larry holds the bassnote and just starts flying off into oblivion. Pretty wild. By Unity, LY really had that whole thing of his in the palm of his hand, literally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjazzman Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 this has probably already said but I like "Zoltan" from his best cd Unity..........mrjazzman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alon Marcus Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 I haven't put on much Larry Young in while. However, was listening today. Aside from the obvious remarks about originality, I really enjoy certain rhythmic things and pet finger patterns he leans on as a basis to his style. Can't point out a single passage right now, but wondered if anybody had any particular passages of Larry Young. Not neccessarily a whole tune, but that's cool too.... Unity was on my playlist this month, I noticed that Young tends to use a lot the pentatonic scale, but not the bluesy usual stuff. He superimposes on the same chord various pentatonics derived from roots which are related to the chord he plays. The same creative way as Woody Shaw later did. He also likes using forths and his playing reminds me of all people Mccoy Tyner in his choice of substitute chords and melodic lines.

Jim Alfredson Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Larry and the boys probably had to move that organ in themselves, too. People think this business is all glitz and glamour. It's frickin' hard work and the pay is shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewHill Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 First track on 'Mother Ship'. After a relatively subdued start to the solo, it goes absolutely apeshit. Amazing stuff - I wonder what they thought of that in the studio . That's got to be one of the most out jazz organ solos I've ever heard. Herbert Morgan was another surprise. Enjoyed him on Of Love and Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul secor Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 (edited) Just a thought - I'd like to see some of the musicians on Board do more threads like this. You guys can have some fun and share musical info amongst yourselves and we non-musicians end up learning something too. edit- Maybe I should check the Musician's Forum more often. For all I know, some of this may go on there. Edited May 8, 2007 by paul secor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 (edited) Marcello - what a great photo! Thanks for posting that. My fave bit of Larry won't impress the musicians, I fear It's the chordal sequence at the climax of "Testifyin'"; it just feels so fuckin' heavy! MG Oh and PS - shouldn't this be in the Hammond Zone?
