Jazz Organ LEGEND Reveals Favorite Tracks

We’re sitting down with one of the greats! Organist Larry Goldings is in the house to spin the B3 tracks that shaped him – from Jimmy Smith’s revolutionary runs to Billy Preston’s blending brilliance behind Aretha Franklin. Along the way, Larry breaks down the nuts and bolts (err… drawbars and percs) behind his favorite players, offering expert insights into Larry Young’s pedal-less playing and Ray Charles’ “dry-as-dust” sound. And somewhere in the midst of Larry’s fave five, we get into how to find your own voice (and why it might involve throwing all these great records out the window). Whether you’re chasing that perfect drawbar sound or just here for Hans Groiner’s alter ego, this one will change how you hear the Hammond forever.

In this episode, You’ll Hear:

  • Jimmy Smith’s masterful expression pedal comping and turnarounds
  • How to build your organ sound through a track like Wild Bill Davis
  • Why Larry listens to singers and horn players (it’s all in the breath).
  • The power of the organ + guitar combo
  • What Larry’s listening to these days
