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

You’ve got two great options in jazz for your Thursday night. If you like your music big and swinging, you’ve got the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra at The Soraya at the Valley Performing Arts Center. But if you like your jazz smaller and with vocals, then perhaps you’ll want to check out Kathleen Grace at the blue whale in Little Tokyo on April 5th.

Grace will be performing with Larry Goldings on piano and David Piltch on bass. Here’s a sample of what you might hear:

And here is a music video for her song “I’m on Fire” (not to be confused with the Bruce Springsteen song of the same name):

Grace has released five CDs: No Place to Fall, Sunrise, Songbird, Mirror and Fleeting Heart.
