Larry Young

Larry Young (1940-1978), also known as Khalid Yasin, was an American jazz organist from Newark, New Jersey. He started out in the soul jazz manner of Jimmy Smith, then took the organ toward modal playing and later toward the avant-garde and early fusion. His albums include Unity (Blue Note, 1966), and he played in the Tony Williams Lifetime. Young played in R&B bands in the 1950s and worked with Jimmy Forrest, Lou Donaldson, Kenny Dorham and Hank Mobley.
