Arnold "Arny" Young (dr): Club Foot Orchestra: "Clair"
We've just spoken about Dave Young, a trumpeter who was playing with Sun Ra. Now we're moving on from Sun Ra to Un Ra - a monicker which was chosen by "Un-Ra Arnold Young". He's a drummer, now based in Kansas City and running an Arny Young Quartet there.
During the 80's he's been a member of San Francisco's Club Foot Orchestra, which was the house band of the Club Foot, a place where art, punk and jazz could meet and intermingle. He also appeared with Kansas City based improv-group The Malachy Papers.
The piece "Clair" appeared on "Beets - a Collection of Jazz Songs".

David "Dave" Young (tp): [Sun Ra and His Arkestra: Sound of Joy]
Dave Young was a core member of Sun Ra's early Arkestra in 1955 and 1956.
"When Gilmore joined, the Arkestra was no more than a trio, but it quickly grew: Pat Patrick returned from a sojourn in Florida, Dave Young came in on trumpet, Julian Priester on trombone, Richard Evans on bass, Jim Herndon on tympani and timbales. And they got regular work at Cadillac Bob's Budland, in the basement of the Pershing Hotel. The only Chicago-period photo of the Arkestra that's been published shows the band as it stood in the Fall of 1955." (Robert L. Campbell)
Dave Young is said to have quit playing music and became a car salesman (source).
