The jazz organ is a land of groove, cool, and smooth, not only by its sound but by how its sound defines it and assigns its tones’ colors. It comes with its own sounds with many distinct voices but all are uniquely different from the musical sound places of the rest of the music making machines, boxes, and tubes of the genre’s instrument families. Its players have a voice all their own.
Larry Goldings is a keyboard instrument player, organ and piano primarily and well established as a player of the grouping of the organ trio. He is a nuanced pianist, molding the sounds out of the keyboard in order to shape emotions. Plying it and giving it life like the mastery of the marionette puppeteer. At once it can all be sad, then happy, or even melancholy, and introspective.
Goldings can have you on the verge of tears and equally on the ledge of a sunny smile all the while traversing the land of groove, cool, and smooth. Tones are colors and voices each taking turns at assigning emotions to the sounds.
