You cannot really say that Larry Young was a "jazz" organist, even if he made some hard-bop recording. Larry Young was really a pioneer of phychedelic music (check his 1966 LP "of love and peace" and 1973 LP "Lawrence of Newark"), in the real sense of the world, not the marketed one.He had trememdous influence on various artists, including Miles Davis and JImmy Hendrix, as well as various phychedelic rock bands.We have here another incident of racial discrimination.
- The above unsigned comment is uninformed. The editor is apparently unfamiliar with the vast majority of Young's work, from 1963, please note, and onward. That majority of his work was jazz -and mainly hard-bop. Go purchase his best of compilation on Blue Note and see for yourself. Even his work from 1966 to his death was predominantly rooted in the jazz idiom. Dogru144 15:55, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
