Hammond B3 players who kill it with the bass pedals.... Larry Young

For the past few weeks, I have been playing Grant Greens 'Street of Dreams' over and over. If you haven't heard it, I highly recommend. One of Greens finest albums. It just evokes a lot of emotion and introspection, really makes you think, and reflect. Well, for me at least.

On the Album, Larry Young is at his best, and kills it on every track. I just haven't been able to get over the fact that while laying down impeccable grooves, and masterful solos, he is simultaneously providing the bass with his foot pedals. I don't think I can comprehend the level of mastery of one's instrument to be able to pull it off the way he does. 'I wish you love' is a perfect example of this but really all tunes on the album highlight his effortless skill.

I always knew Hammonds had this feauture, but I've never heard it been put to work quite like this. It has just made me appreciate the instrument even more.

I don't really have anything to say, just wanted to express how I feel about this masterful exhibit by Larry Young, and more broadly the quartet that delivered Street of Dreams.

Thanks for reading.
