Until the emergence of Larry Young the Hammond B3 organ tradition was firmly rooted in Soul Jazz, but Young brought a new perspective to the instrument by placing it in an adventurous Post-Bop context. His 1965 masterpiece Unity featured a cast of modern jazz masters with Woody Shaw on trumpet, Joe Henderson on saxophone, and Elvin Jones on drums.
