Larry Goldings: As One
by C. Andrew Hovan
It’s been well over a decade now since a renaissance movement put the funky Hammond B-3 organ back on the scene with a vengeance.

Larry Goldings Trio: Moonbird
by Glenn Astarita
Organist Larry Goldings deserves much credit for being one of the prime exponents or perhaps motivational forces behind the early 90’s resurgence of the organ trio format. For his first release on Palmetto Records, Goldings along with his longtime bandmates, guitarist Peter Bernstein and drummer Bill Stewart enhance their repertoire with originals and pop-folk classics. The ...
