Description
Mother Ship stands as the final Blue Note album by Larry Young, bristling with kinetic energy and deep-rooted groove. Recorded at a moment when Young was stretching the language of the organ trio, the session balances propulsion and swing with a sharp, exploratory edge.
Originally issued in Blue Note’s LT Series, the album is built entirely around Young’s own compositions and features a lean, powerful lineup: Lee Morgan on trumpet, Herbert Morgan on tenor saxophone, and Eddie Gladden on drums. Together, they drive the music with urgency and bite, locking into soulful rhythms while leaving room for restless improvisation.
Both grounded and searching, Mother Ship captures Young in full command of his sound, closing his Blue Note chapter with one of its most dynamic and forward-thinking statements.
