Friday night at blue whale music in Little Tokyo, jazz composer, pianist and keyboard player Larry Goldings will be playing. He is joined for this concert by Rich Hinman who plays guitar and pedal steel guitar.
Goldings’ most recent release is last month’s Scary Goldings. He has played with a wide range of artists that includes Christian Aguilera, Herbie Hancock, Tracy Chapman, James Taylor and Elton John. His masterful playing, particularly on the organ, sets him apart from other jazz musicians.
He’s also good at explaining and showing what it is he does.
You don’t find too many jazz/improv guys on the organ. Given how intimate blue whale is, this is a rare chance to see Goldings up close and personal
