Why We Love Larry! (Goldings)

[@gitarmats]

We need a Hans Groiner Open Studio masterclass now.

I'm a huge Larry Goldings fan. His depth is insane.

Love Larry Goldings. I saw Larry Goldings play piano with Jon Hendricks and Company in the late ‘80s. Hendricks made a point of introducing him to the audience, saying he was a young musician to keep your eyes on. About a year later, I saw him at an outdoor festival in Oakland, CA, playing with the young alto player, Christopher Hollyday, who was getting a lot of promotion at the time as a “young lion.” I recognized him from the Hendrix show, and during intermission I went up to him and said how much I liked his playing, and that I remembered him from that show. He said something like, “Oh, yeah, that was a good gig, Jon’s a great guy.” Then I told him that he should tell Hollyday to introduce his fellow bandmates instead of just bowing and saying bye. He said, “Yeah, maybe so.”

I remember the Hans Groiner Monk videos back in the day. They still are hilarious.

[@kturn5953]

Goldings is my favorite musician of all time! ❤

[@jonnreyna1]

[@J-DUB-F1]

[@marcavice7505]

so much looking forward to see Larry Goldings on OS and YHI! can't wait!

[@ryantalbot5422]

The We Shall Overcome thing from Obama's inauguration. He comps MLKs speech. When he says "in every state and every city..." Larry just nails it. Makes me teary.

[@GameNationRDF]

I haven't laughed this hard in a while LMAO this was legit a joy to watch and listen to

[@gabe7987]

what a monster, i just was rediscovering their trio. i pretty sure i've seen them twice.

[@geoffknot]

i had to pause this to go watch Hans Groiner! hoot!

[@xbbradley]

Excellent show...can't wait to watch the master class.

[@walkingbassline]

He reminds me of Mose Allison when he sings. Pretty sure that he wrote that shut-ins song during the pandemic. Larry Rocks!

[@DojoOfCool]

All Hail Larry Goldings master of you name it....

[@AxistubeToulouse]

Larry is awesomely telented and funny just like Jacob Mann

[@maramazone]

Yes agreed he is definitely an OG, YT, IG Artist! 😅

[@bucksmusic]

He's also the keyboard player for the Steve Gadd band, who essentially have been backing James Taylor since the early 2000s.

[@davecooper2319]

The singing is reminiscent of Dave Frishberg. This is such a fun episode.

[@fiscaldisco5234]

also pretty impressive how good he is at making those clean bass patches on the Yamaha Reface CS and Korg MS-20. Neither of those synths store patches so he had to have set them himself and they are SOLID.

[@marshallArtsCREATES]

PLEAAAASEEEE do a Larry Goldings organ lesson! even if its just for the open studio pro members!!!

[@defonkt]

Yes please!!! That's a great idea!

[@thebullgoose6099]

And hey, well worthy of a mention is his work with the great Dannielle DeAndrea. They write and perform new songs that sound like they've been in the Great American Songbook since before Jerome Kern knew any of the things you are/were/is.

[@teelurizzo8542]

I first got to know Larry's playing from the records he stared doing w/ John Scofield in the mid 1990s. Great player indeed.And yeah I'd know the Hans Groiner videos for a number of years, hilarious...He also did a recent one as the 'accompanist' of a woman who unknowingly sang the National Anthem in constantly changing keys for the 2021 C-PAC.

[@NickMarshallMusic]

His Jazz piano lessons.. he talks about drop two voicings.. so you take a regular c major triad. drop 2 and just play the one.. just playing a c note!...hahaha

[@ecarteringram]

Scary Goldings......Scofield, Robben Ford, Mono Neon, Jack Conte

[@jakehendriksen2841]

and Ryan Lerman.

[@yaboi-km2qn]

with louis cole too

[@reddeckelman1802]

I must be out of touch. I had heard the name, Larry Goldings, but had no idea who he was.

[@thekeyoflifepiano]

Hans Groiner is way better than this no-name Larry Golding.

[@Twsuf1]

Because he's Jew?
