Larry Young on Hendrix "Nine to the Universe" Album

2011-07-11 by Robert

Hi Pete,

I believe so. See the links below, the 3rd being an interview with John Mclaughlin in the September 1975 issue of Guitar Player magazine. Unfortunately, I have never heard that Hendrix album.

Around 1973, I started to collect a lot of jazz / fusion / Canterbury albums by British groups like Soft Machine and Hatfield and the North. A little later on, I became interested in groups like the Mahavishnu Orchestra and stuff like that. My friend's dad had the Tony Williams Lifetime album "Turn It Over" (Larry Young, Jack Bruce, & John Mclaughlin is credited) so we gave it a listen. Strangely enough, on some of the tracks I noticed a similarity to the British fusion sound I had already become familiar with.

A few years later, as I was getting into more "straight ahead jazz", I picked up some of Larry Young's earlier albums on the Blue Note label.

Robert,
Is that the same Larry Young that played on Hendrix' Nine To The Universe?
