Larry Goldings/Peter Bernstein/Bill Stewart: Perpetual Pendulum

Read "Perpetual Pendulum" reviewed by Doug Collette

Keyboardist Larry Goldings, guitarist Peter Bernstein and drummer Bill Stewart have some history. It extends back to performing in clubs in the late Eighties and then, via decidedly circuitous routes, recording together as a threesome in the Nineties. It's a confluence of circumstance and talent that would continue through the three's appearances on a pair of the keyboardist's solo albums, Whatever It Takes (Warner Brothers, 1995) and Big Stuff (Warner Brothers, 1996), before Toy Tunes (Pirouette, 2017) overtly continued the ...

Goldings / Bernstein / Stewart Organ Trio at Cuyahoga Community College Tri-C Metropolitan Auditorium Cleveland, Ohio April 3, 2022 The fickle nature of the music business and the smaller draw of jazz related projects in general, bodes against the likelihood of any one jazz group keeping a regular cast in place for any length of time. Even during the golden era of jazz, this scenario was a challenging preposition at best. This only makes it ...

Gerry Gibbs Thrasher Dream Trios: Songs from My Father

Songs from My Father. What a marvelous idea!—and not simply for the sentiment. Drummer Gerry Gibbs' father happens to be Hall of Fame vibraphonist (and sometime song writer) Terry Gibbs, who is still on the scene at ninety-seven (and, in fact, making a guest appearance on the first disc of this superlative two-CD set). Eighteen of the elder Gibbs' songs, written between 1949 and 1985 (and one more, “Tango for Terry," by the late Chick Corea) are performed by four ...

The Burt Bacharach canon has always been fertile ground for artists of all kinds to explore. Stan Getz devoted an entire album to his fare. The big Bacharach hits are branded deep in the cultural psyche. Thus, the challenge that Grammy-nominated vocalist Denise Donatelli and producer Larry Klein have here is how to use a different ladle to invite you to imbibe from their recipe for Bacharach's musical champagne. The session offers four Bacharach/Hal David hits--three hits ...
