Printer cartridge instructions from Asia are always a hilarious find. This came out of an ink package at work. It's hard to believe a technical writer somewhere in the world was actually paid to write this. Oh, to be a college graduate during the Internet boom of the '90s. I could have been retired by now... Instead, I'm working at a record store and compiling mix tapes for people I don't know or even care about (well, maybe ten of you I care about). How depressing. Rather than wallow in my self-pity any longer, I'll just skip ahead [...]
Some days only a bit of jazz organ will do. In those times there are few people better to turn to than that hero of the Hammond, that leviathan of the Leslie unit, that behemoth of the B-3, Mr. Larry Young. Young is probably best remembered for his mammoth cosmic fusion LP of the '70s, Lawrence of Newark . Here's something rather more straightforward: a track from his 1965 album Unity , where he squeezes out every last drop of listening pleasure from the instantly familiar Monk's Dream . You can't listen to [...]
Larry Young was an East-Coast jazz organist, active through the sixties on the Prestige and Blue Note labels, and through the seventies on Perception and Arista. What I wish to focus on is an element of Larry Young that stood him above many of his contemporaries - he was a true pioneer of the Hammond [...]
Organist Larry Young is best known for Lawrence of Newark , one of the defining jazz fusion albums of the '70s. Here's a classic cut of his from 1965. Zoltan is the opening track from his album Unity , recorded with Elvin Jones, Joe Henderson and Woody Shaw. You can hear the roots of his more famous releases even here. Young's pulsating organ excitement 1 is the structure on which the rest of his band lay their parts 2 . You can hear elements of many musics in here: latin, [...]
There's a dog in the alley that has been barking almost non-stop for the last five days. This morning it woke me up at 5:45am, after maybe two hours of sleep. I'm not in a very good mood, and am becoming haunted by visions of David Berkowitz and his neighbor's dog's incessant barking, and also that episode of Seinfeld where Elaine hires Kramer and Newman to kidnap the dog that keeps her up all night. Yesterday I performed what I believe to be a righteous act. I was driving home from Hollywood and, as I was turning left [...]
Larry Young's Fuel: SpaceBall and Moonwalk From: Spaceball [Arista, 1975] So I'm still on a bit of a fusion tip and realised I've yet to feature any music by Larry Young, a man who burnt so brightly before dying of pneumonia at the shockingly young age of 38. An organist of immeasurable talent, Young was involved in the recording of many of the great Blue Note jazz albums of the sixties including those of Grant Green and Joe Henderson before moving [...]
