“I am pleased that the LA JazzPro Connection is giving me this opportunity to conduct a piano/organ master class. I will address a host of issues - harmonic proficiency, ear training, accompaniment, improvisation, and the pursuit of one's own musical voice. I will welcome pianists (and organists) to play (with a house rhythm section), with the hope that I can get to the root of the players' main weaknesses. Two major themes that will be discussed are 1) The importance of mastering the basics, such as, proficiency in all keys, and improving your ear. 2) The dangers of licks, stock voicings, overplaying, and not listening to your bandmates"

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.

Under his own name, Goldings has made ten critically-acclaimed albums, many of them featuring his well-known organ trio with Peter Bernstein on guitar and Bill Stewart on drums. Goldings' most recent project, “Trio Beyond" (ECM), earned him, John Scofield, and Jack DeJohnette a Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Instrumental Album (2007).

Larry Goldings' musical compositions have been recorded by such artists as Michael Brecker, Jim Hall, Jack DeJohnette, John Scofield, Toots Thielemans, Curtis Stigers, Till Brnner, and Sia. His songs and arrangements have appeared in several motion pictures including Clint Eastwood's “Space Cowboys" and John Madden's “Proof."
