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 preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.254.5.193 (talk • contribs) 06:40, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

C'mon, this is Wikipedia where it seems the trend is to argue for every artist of this time to be genrefied as "proto" whomever came after them. Young's music is modal-based and features improvised jams, therefore he must be "proto-jamband." Clearly, I am being facetious, but my point is, when it comes to genre, everybody seems to want to argue for their own little niche description of how they classify a particular artist. Larry Young is primarily a jazz artist. However, you want to refine your view of what kind of jazz it is, go right ahead, but it's jazz.ROG 19 18:07, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Passing

His tragic death at the age of 38 is intriguing. It is hard to fathom why earlier references to his death were deleted in recent revisions. I have restored the passage on his passing away in the hospital.Dogru144 (talk) 11:34, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
