Larry Young - Groove Street (Prestige cat. PR 7237) There has always been something modern about Larry Young’s playing. Even here on this, very typical of its time, Blues session on Prestige. The session date was Groundhog Day 1962, Rudy Van Gelder engineered and the band was guitarist Thornel Schwartz’s quartet with Young, Bill Leslie on tenor and Jimmy Smith on drums. Drummer, Jimmy Smith is the guy rattling the traps on Willie Bobo and The Bo Gents - Do What You Want To Do that includes the amazing “Broasted Or Fried.” Throughout this LP the mood can be very serious or even dark with a concentration on improvisation that gives Young’s playing that modern feel. Bill Leslie can somehow wail but he never derails the underlying groove. You can tell the relationship Young has with Thornel Schwartz because at times they are linked and at others each steps aside allowing the other to be featured. Young makes his modernist stance pretty clear as the last track titled, “Talkin’ ‘Bout JC,” is an acknowledgment of the influence John Coltrane already had on young players. Ironically, Trane is still one year away from having his deepest musical explorations engraved in vinyl. Blues grooves based sessions were very common at this early point in the history of the Jazz organ’s and unfortunately can quickly become boring but there are some real standouts and this LP is one of them. The liner notes are written by LeRoy Jones aka LeRoi Jones aka Amiri Baraka who needs no introduction and whose book Blues People is one of my favorites. Also of note here, is the silver “fireworks” Prestige label. To the best of my knowledge this is the only one I have in my collection. Apparently it was used for about two years to designate the new sound of STEREO! #primitivesoundsystem #vinylrules #vinyljunkie #recordcollection #recordcollector @prestigerecords #prestigerecords #larryyoung #thornelschwartz #billleslie #jimmysmith #groovestreet #rudyvangelder #leroijones #amiribaraka #newarknj #jazz
