Larry Goldings' trio has developed one of the most identifiable sounds in jazz today, and this album is another worthy chapter in the band's history. Like the previous year's Moonbird, the mood here is bluesy and groove-oriented yet understated and mellow. (The trio tends to get way more hot and heavy in a live setting.) Together with guitarist Peter Bernstein and drummer Bill Stewart, the young organist navigates a varied set, moving from easygoing swing on "Mixed Message" to 6/8 hard bop on "Going to Meet the Man" (check out what is almost surely a chordal sequence borrowed from Steely Dan's "Negative Girl") to grooving R&B on "Back in the Day." Bernstein's singing, poignant guitar lines on the latter and on the standard "The Thrill Is Gone" are superb, although there's a certain sameness in terms of solo rotation and dynamics within these first four tracks. Goldings wisely shakes things up with Carla Bley's fast, unorthodox blues "Calls." He then takes a left turn with the enigmatic, rubato title track before tackling the seemingly obligatory '60s cover, this time the Zombies' "Time of the Season" (on Moonbird it was Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock"). Bill Stewart's excellent "Mynah" follows, its cyclical three-bar phrases setting up a kind of faux-electronica feel that vaguely recalls what Goldings was after on Voodoo Dogs, his collaboration with Bob Ward. To finish up, Goldings offers a brief solo organ piece titled "Glass," which like the title track reveals Goldings' skill at creating sonic textures out-of-tempo. Aside from sleepy spots here and there, As One is another intelligent, highly accessible offering from Goldings, who continues to become more refined and creative with each album.

Larry Goldings
Active Decades: '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: 1968 in Boston, MA
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Post-Bop
One of the top organists to emerge since Joey DeFrancesco, Larry Goldings began piano lessons when he was nine. Goldings, who graduated from the New School for Social Research in the late '80s, was Jon Hendricks' accompanist during 1987-1989, worked with Jim Hall for three years, and (inspired by Jimmy Smith) he led a trio that gave him an opportunity to play organ. He worked on the Hammond B-3 with Maceo Parker and in 1990, recorded his first set for Minor Music. Since then, Goldings has toured and recorded with John Scofield and signed with Warner Bros., releasing a series of albums, including 1995's Whatever It Takes, 1996's Awareness, and 1999's Moonbird. Voodoo Dogs was issued a year later, with As One following in early 2001.
