Larry Koones

Well, I have had a while to listen to "once upon the blues" several times now and I am pleased to report that it is an absolute cracker (very good….).
I just love the lazy guitar intro to the first track "where blue turns to black" - lovely understated playing, probably one of my favourite tracks.
The second is about a pet hate of Larry as well as me - "slower traffic keep right". Wherever you are, on Highway, Motorway, Autostrada, Autobahn or Autoroute it seems to be the same the world over - slow traffic sitting in the fast/overtaking lane. Larry will have to change from right to left when he does this number in England!…..

Features the high-fidelity SHM-CD format (compatible with standard CD player) and 24 bit remastering. One of the best Larry Young albums for Blue Note – and a record that really gets at his unique conception and style in the 60s! The session's a key bridge between Larry's soul jazz roots and his more far-reaching experimental work – filled with deep, heavy grooves – yet mixed with playful, personal touches on the Hammond – some of the most unique sounds coming from Blue Note at the time!
