Larry Goldings Quartet featuring Harry Allen October 26, 2010

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.

The CD, "When Larry Met Harry," is his collaborative effort with the lyrical Harry Allen on saxophone, featuring original material by the pair. Bassists Doug Weiss and Neal Miner, as well as drummer Andy Watson fill out the rhythm section. There is also a guest appearance by great arranger Vince Mendoza with the Metropole Orchestra.
