Bassist for Canned Heat, session player since the 60’s.
You’ve heard him on Monkees records, various TV commercials using Canned Heat’s music and many other recordings whether you know it or not.
A big part of Tom Waits’ music since 1980.
Performed at Woodstock.
His brother, Mel, was the drummer for the Ventures. You heard those drums playing the Hawaii Five-O theme.
Larry was a totally down-to-Earth, no-ego friend to every musician he met. He’ll be missed.
RIP
Canned Heat Bassist Larry Taylor Dies at 77
