Life and Career
Golding was born in Boston, Massachusetts. His father was a classical music enthusiast, and Larry studied classical piano, until the age of twelve. In high school he attended a program at the Eastman School of Music. During this time, Erroll Garner, Oscar Peterson, Dave McKenna, Red Garland and Bill Evans were prime influences. As a young teenager, Larry studied privately with Ran Blake and Keith Jarrett.
Larry moved to New York in 1986 to a newly founded Jazz program participate under the direction of Arnie Lawrence at the New School. During college he studied piano with Jaki Byard and Fred Hersch. While still a newcomer, invited Sir Roland Hanna Larry, to accompany him to a three-day jazz private party in Copenhagen. There he met Larry jazz legends Sarah Vaughan, Kenny Burrell, Tommy Flanagan and Hank Jones, and he also played the piano in a band with Sarah Vaughan, Harry "Sweets" Edison and Al Cohn. While still a student, he began a worldwide tour with Jon Hendricks and worked with him for a year. A Cooperation of almost three years followed with jazz guitar legend Jim Hall.
In 1988 Larry began his development as organist at a regular gig at a bar called Augie's pianoless (Now Smoke) on New York's Upper West Side. He was released with several bands, and his own trio with guitarist Peter Bernstein and drummer Bill Stewart got its start there. His own first release was intimacy of the blues in 1991. He has published ten or more albums since then, and has appeared as a sideman on hundreds of recordings. Throughout his career, his distinctive keyboard sound became more and more of pop, R & B, Brazilian and sought alternative artists, including De La Soul, India.Arie, Tracy Chapman, Colin Hay, Madeleine Peyroux, Luciana Souza, Rebecca Pidgeon, Melody Gardot, Walter Becker, Robben Ford, Steve Gadd, Al Jarreau, David Sanborn, Till Brönner, Priscilla Ahn, Jesse Harris, Sia, John Mayer and Norah Jones. He has had a long-term collaboration with musicians such as Maceo Parker, John Scofield, Carla Bley, Michael Brecker and Pat Metheny, John Pizzarelli, Jack DeJohnette and Charlie Haden, in genres such as jazz, Brazilian, funk and pop music as a pianist (since 2001) Singer-songwriter James Taylor.
Larry's melodic style of organ playing often on that, compared to Larry Young. On organ, Larry cites as his first inspiration of the solo piano style of Dave McKenna "Who goes his own bass lines better than anyone else, "and Billy Preston accompanying Aretha Franklin on" Bridge Over Troubled Water ". Other influences were Wes Montgomery Records with Mel Rhyne and Jimmy Smith, Shirley Scott, Chester Thompson, Joe Zawinul, and Jack McDuff.1 In jazz enthusiasts, has Larry's organ trio with Peter Bernstein and Bill Stewart play for recognition charting new paths with the musicians' synergistic and their hard-swinging but very thoughtful, music.
Larry is a composer, Arranger and producer of music. Hear his music reflects a wide range, from Beethoven and Gabriel Faure to contemporary artists like The Beatles, Randy Newman and Bjrk. His compositions were Michael Brecker, Jack DeJohnette recorded, Bob Dorough, Jim Hall, John Scofield and Toots Thielemans, among other things appear, and his songs and arrangements in the films of Clint Eastwood's "Space Cowboys," John Madden's "Proof," and, more recently, the Judd Apatow movie "Funny People". Larry is also an excellent performer in the 2009 Clint Eastwood documentary, "The Dream's On Me", with original arrangements of several classic Johnny Mercer Melodies on the piano and Hammond organ.
Besides the film, Larry's composition, arranging and producing credits include four albums with singer Curtis Stigers in which one their can listen to original co-writes and Larry's musical arrangements from a variety of contemporary songs and jazz standards. Larry's musical arrangements can be on multiple albums from James Taylor, including October Road, James Taylor at Christmas, One Man Band, and finally to hear cover.
In 2007, Larry Goldings, Jack DeJohnette and John Scofield, received a Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Instrumental Album individual or group lessons for her performance on the album, "Trio Beyond – Saudades (ECM). The album captures their live performance in 2004 at Queen Elizabeth Hall in London. The title is in reference to the musicians, working together as a tribute to the music of Tony Williams Lifetime group started and has now moved to original works and other music expands in a similar manner.
Also in 2006, 2007 and 2008, Larry has toured the United States and Europe with James Taylor, as his One Man Band, a collaborative project that in the common CD / DVD release with the same name (Hear Music) peaked. The album, which certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America was (RIAA), has an original composition Larry on "School Song."
