Heidi Goldsmith

About Me

uncommon sense and aural opinions

Raised amongst the chiselled hedges and security alarms of North London's suburbs, Heidi Goldsmith began the search for more interesting sounds than hedge-cutters. Having erected a shrine to the Beatles at the early age of 5 she soon moved from psychadelia to swing and began a long-distance love affair with Coltrane. As both a singer and a linguist (both affairs of the tongue) moving into music journalism was only logical and she began establishing herself as a blogger and critic. After taking masterclasses with Kevin Le Gendre and having recently discovered her work reposted on Kurt Elling's website she now feels legitimate and is continuing the never-ending quest to find verbal parallels for the beautifully inexplicable power of music.
