About Me



With his signature Hammond organ style and versatility on many keyboards, Boston native Larry Goldings has traversed not only the wide spectrum of jazz where he is perhaps best known, but also the worlds of funk, pop, and electronic/alternative music. High in demand as a sideman, Goldings' sound can be heard on scores of albums by artists in virtually every musical genre. Some of his more notable collaborations include tours and recordings with Carla Bley, Michael Brecker, Jack DeJohnette, Jim Hall, Jon Hendricks, Pat Metheny, Maceo Parker, Madeleine Peyroux, John Pizzarelli, John Scofield, Curtis Stigers, and James Taylor.

LONG STORY SHORT - available at cdbaby.com and at ..
"Pensive and deceptively simple, Goldings’ compositions that make up this CD are brief, succinct, and largely without long improvised solos. Each evokes a mood set by a variety of understated means, such as a slow, lilting ragtime-like piano melody, a gently rhythmic loop reminiscent of a train going over a crossing, sus chords repeating on a Hammond through a very slow Leslie as guitarist Peter Bernstein weaves a meandering tune above, tremeloed Rhodes chords over soft percussion loops, and surprising turns of melody and harmony. Even the grooving tunes seem preoccupied and dreamlike as they click along. Thinkin’ feller’s jazz, this is, beautifully realized by Goldings solo on some tracks and accompanied by his longtime trio including Bernstein and drummer Bill Stewart on others. Chad Fischer added a bit of percussion and did a great job of recording and producing; the sound is fantastic."
- Ernie Rideout, Keyboard Magazine

QUARTET (2006) is his newest recording for Palmetto Records. It features Goldings on piano, Wurlitzer electric piano, organ, harmonium, and accordion. The band is John Sneider (trumpet), Ben Allison (bass), Matt Wilson (drums), and guest vocalist Madeleine Peyroux. Of the seemingly disparate nature of the album, Goldings comments:

"In the past few years I have delved into such a wide variety of music that denying those influences in the making of this record would have been dishonest. In fact, what interests me most these days is the challenge of melding my disparate influences into a cohesive and personal sound."

"I am excited by the idea of having a Björk song alongside Gabriel Fauré, next to Chico Buarque, next to an American folk song. And then in my own writing, I like the freedom of going anywhere I want. Eclecticism is really "in" now, and I love it, but only when it's not forced....only when it sounds honest. The idea is to show the connections in music, how different genres across the centuries are all so beautifully related."
