Harold Martin & Larry Young Jr - ‘Wild Fire’
Posted on September 19, 2007 by soul_hawk
Utterly obscure 45rpm single featuring jazz organist Larry Young - released on a local New Jersey label - undated, but presumably from his early 70's 'Lawrence of Newark' phase - once dubbed 'The Coltrane of the Organ' - Larry Young is fairly well known as far as cult jazz figures go - this recording however, seems virtually unknown - the label tells us that 'Wild Fire' is "from the concerto Black Fantasy" - suggesting an album length work, that as far as I can tell, has never seen the light of day…

yeah, I really like this tune - it’s sort of low-key, but has a real positive, hopeful quality to it.
so chill, thanx for this one, really blissed out and snuggly…

Just like Br*ck!!
huh?
Yeah congrats on that find, this is excellent.. now you’ve got me curious if a full length of this material exists…thanks.
somebody probably has a reel of the whole ‘concerto’ in their attic or basement - hopefully it’ll be found & issued at some point.
keep diggin deep,respect
