Album Notes & Community Reviews

Organist Larry Young moves the Hammond B-3 away from the Jimmy Smith-style blues groove, incorporating modal harmonies and angular improvisations. Sam Rivers on tenor saxophone and Elvin Jones on drums provide a turbulent, complex backing that aligns the organ trio format with the post-bop vanguard.
