Listening to the new release of previously unissued Larry Young tracks recorded in Paris in 1964/1965. These were Radio broadcasts from the INA fr vaults, the recording quality is excellent.
There are 10 tracks on a 2 CD set and although I have only played half of the set as yet the music is superb. the music is like listening to live versions of the classic Blue note albums "Into Something" and "Unity". The core band on most tracks are Larry Young, Nathan Davis - tenor, Woody Shaw - tpt, Billy Brooks - drums. Some of the tracks are live versions of compositions from the above Blue Note albums like "Zoltan", Talkin about J.C. and Luny Tune, a tremendous version of Wayne Shorter's "Black Nile".
The album is called Larry Young In Paris - The ORTF Recordings - on the Resonance label.
Also playing lots of Oscar Pettiford, I just love great Bass players and they don't come better than Oscar, love his cello playing as well.
