Recorded on November 10, 1965 at the Van Gelder Studio
Originally recorded and remastered in 1998 by Rudy Van Gelder
The continuing growth of Larry Young is compellingly clear in
this album, which is regarded by Young as the most mature set
he's ever recorded. It's called "Unity" because, Larry points
out, "although everybody on the date is very much an
individualist, they were all in the same frame of mood. It was
evident from the start that everything was fitting together."
As I noted on Larry's first album as a leader for Blue Note
"Into Somethin" (4187) he is a remarkably flexible and
attentive organist. Unlike too many of his contemporaries on
the instrument, he doesn't swallow up his colleagues in a
torrent of notes and volume. Or, as Joe Henderson puts it,
"With some organists, it's hard to compete with all that juice.
But Larry listens to you and complements you." Also
characteristic of Young's playing, as Don Nelson observed in a
Down Beat review of "Into Somethin", is "his deft, controlled
touch...Young treats his notes ...respectfully, articulating
them clearly and with a laudable sensitivity to dynamics."
It's difficult, moreover, to imagine a more apt choice of
musicians for the particular challenges of this session. (...)
