"…his driving
support, fast scalar runs and rhythmic soloing are definitely
distinctive… Young is never overshadowed by his partners. Young's
growling tone and take-charge walking are striking… his ability to
build impressive, rhythmically acute solos out of his extended
walking lines is immediately established."
