Larry Goldings & Harry Allen When Larry Met Harry
Release Date: September 14, 2010
Label: Café Society
Larry Goldings and Harry Allen form a stylish partnership featuring some gem-like standard interpretations alongside beautiful, melodic, new compositions. Harry Allen's effortless phrasing meets Larry Goldings' impeccable piano playing, with a gorgeous Vince Mendoza string arrangement of Goldings' composition 'Benny's Dream' performed by the Metropole Orkest. Best known as a leading jazz organist, this is Goldings' first record to predominantly feature him as a pianist since 2006's 'Quartet.' Drummer Andy Watson (from Jon Hendricks' band) joins the fun. Bassists Doug Weiss (Chris Potter / Al Foster) and Neal Miner (Jane Monheit / Stacey Kent) trade duties on various tracks.
