“the best organ trio of the last decade.” – New York Times
New York Times described Larry Goldings, Peter Bernstein, and Bill Stewart as “the best organ trio of the last decade.” The trio, which has played together for over thirty years, is recognized for charting new ground. Here, they do this through synergistic playing and thoughtful music. Moreover, they display their distinctive sound on over a dozen recordings. Additionally, they sound at home whether exploring the depths of jazz standards or playing their own original compositions.
Of 2018’s Toy Tunes, Downbeat said, “The whole album subtly subverts organ-trio cliches, offering not chicken-shack party stomps but instead some hip after-hours atmospherics”.
Larry Goldings is hailed worldwide for his signature Hammond organ style and versatility on many keyboards. Moreover, he has traversed not only the wide spectrum of jazz where he is perhaps best known, but also the worlds of funk, pop, and electronic music. For example, Goldings has worked closely with John Scofield, Michael Brecker, Jim Hall, Maceo Parker, and Madeleine Peyroux. Also, Pat Metheny, James Taylor, and John Mayer. Jazz guitarist
Peter Bernstein has been a part of the jazz scene in New York and abroad since 1989. There, he contributed to over 200 recordings. As a leader, Peter released twelve albums and a DVD. Further, Bernstein was discovered by alto saxophone legend Lou Donaldson and was a crucial part of his final great band.
Drummer/composer Bill Stewart made his name as the rhythmic force behind guitarist John Scofield. Now, he is one of the most sought-after jazz drummers in the world. Also, Stewart has toured extensively with Pat Metheny, Maceo Parker, Joe Lovano, Joshua Redman, Charlie Haden, Joe Henderson and more.
Recommended for fans of John Scofield, Joey DeFrancesco, Eric Harland and Pat Metheny.
