LARRY YOUNG - UNITY (180G 45RPM 2LP)

Larry Young Unity on 180g 45RPM 2LP Set from Music Matters

The Definitive 45RPM Blue Note Reissue Series! 

By the time he recorded what is universally regarded as his finest album in 1964, Larry Young had developed his own innovative style on Hammond B-3 organ and had proved that the instrument could be used for so much more than soul jazz. He was light years ahead of his contemporaries, and fully established himself as the most forward thinking B-3 organ player of the Coltrane era. Teaming with a superb cast consisting of trumpet sensation Woody Shaw (who contributed three of the six selections), Joe Henderson and Elvin Jones, Larry Young inspires each of these young giants to some of the finest performances of their lives. Unity, which still sounds as contemporary as the day it was recorded, is an essential post-bop classic!

"While savoring the excellent sound on this record, I found myself wanting to pour myself a glass of Jack Daniels and light a cigarette. And I rarely do either. The sound is pristine, clear, layered and sumptuous, and will transport you back to another time. As with all of the Music Matters records, the vinyl is absolutely silent, the packaging lovingly done, the photos excellent, and the music captivating."
--Richard Colburn, TONE Audio, Issue 30, July 2010
