The Love Cry Want group played out a few times as I understand it.

[Michael Fitzgerald]

Sure - here's two where recordings exist:

Lifetime played - there's audio and video from the Montreux festival in 1971.

He played with his group Fuel as part of an organ show at Newport in NY in 1975.

Mike, have you heard the Fuel Newport set? Is it any (or even slightly) better than those Arista albums?

[Michael Fitzgerald]

I have not. There is a copy at the Library of Congress. They list 3 tracks:

Fuel for the fire. Performed by Larry Young, organist; jazz group.

I ching. Performed by Larry Young, organist; jazz group.

Unidentified work. Performed by Larry Young, organist; jazz group.

I haven't ever heard the Arista record by Fuel, but I have a feeling it would be pretty much the same. The band is identical, but with the addition of Sandy Edwards playing percussion.

With "Library of Congress" mentioned on this board in the same sentence as "Larry Young" - I can think of only one man for this job.

[Guest ariceffron]

how does a larry young bootleged tape end up in the library of congress anyway? Does someone have to fill out an application and have it donated, or how does it end up in federal channels?

Well I know it ain't me but, as it happens, I'll be up there working in the LC audio perservation lab in July and August.

I'll ask around..... B)

Joe Milazzo.

Or Bertrand Uberall.

[bertrand]

It sounds like I have a job to do - perhaps in early May.

The unidentified composition is probably just another track off the first Fuel album, which to be honest I don't care for very much. But I'll try to figure it out. Now that I have a discman, I can probably figure it out on the spot (if they let me bring it in).

The Newport tapes are from Voice Of America - they are not bootlegs.

Drummer Gary Jenkins, who lives in the D.C. area, told me that he toured with Larry Young and George Benson in the early 70's in a trio format. Larry replaced Hilton Felton, also from D.C.

Didn't think to ask Gary if he had any tape...

Bertrand.

Yeah, Bertrand dawned on me after I thought of Joe. Sorry 'bout that Bertrand. And Joe!

[BFrank]

Didn't he tour with Lifetime? Wouldn't that have been the early 70's?

Larry Young w/ the Tony Williams Lifetime --

They played at the 17th Annual Jazz Festival in Newport, R.I.

On Saturday afternoon July 12, they were the headliners and

Larry Young "got into a swinging groove", as Dan Morgenstern

reported in DownBeat (Sept. 3, 1970).

The groups that played (in order) were:

Elvin Jones Quintet w/ Frank Foster, George Coleman, and Wilbur Little

Chico Hamilton Quartet w/ Arnie Lawrence, Bob Mann, Steve Swallow

Gary Burton Quintet w/ Keith Jarrett, Sam Brown, Steve Swallow, Bill Goodwin

Very exciting, mind-blowing music to a 16 year-old sitting five rows out.

Also, I talked to McLaughlin just before Lifetime played.

(By donning a 'Staff' pith helmet and helping the roadies onstage.)

George Wein got hip to my ruse, pointing me out and bellowing,

"What's HE doing here?"

Fortunately, I knew the stage manager, and was able to hang in.

i would like to trade for a dub of the 1972 'Love Cry Want' release.

[Stefan Wood]

Larry Young was on a John McLaughlin lp called "Devotion" which I believe has been reissued on cd. With Buddy Miles and others -- this would have been an interesting group to see live, if they ever toured.
