Review by Paula Edelstein
Larry Goldings conceived much of the music on Sweet Science on the Korg CX3 and recorded it on a modified C2 Hammond Organ. The funk, blues, and jazz master performs ten excellent songs with his longtime trio members Peter Bernstein on guitar and Bill Stewart on drums. This fourth CD for the Palmetto label finds the trio stretching the boundaries of the organ trio format. On the title track, "Sweet Science," at the head Goldings states the theme by creating imaginative block chord passages and changes that he inserts between adjacent sections for Stewart's drums and Bernstein's guitar. Bernstein then performs a very melodic guitar solo that can be described as beautifully uncommon with other guitar players of his generation. His great articulation segues into Goldings' awesome organ solo -- one that is complete with harmonic schemes, fresh chord progressions, and the rhythmic formulae that have been known to make up Goldings' prized signature licks. "Solid Jack" epitomizes Goldings' accomplished and imaginative sonic organ mastery. This song creates an attractive synthesis of melodic appeal and compositional ingenuity. The mystical "Chorale" and "Come in and Pray" find the trio at peace with a very special spiritual vibe. These are two beautiful pieces that you can just kick back and meditate to. Overall, the CD is a refreshing dose of straight-ahead jazz, blues, and funk. More varied in both artistic scope and musical technique than his previous effort, Sweet Science surpasses the standards of Goldings' unique compositional instincts heard on As One. A brilliant effort.

Reseña de Paula Edelstein
Larry Goldings concibió gran parte de la música en Sweet Science en el Korg CX3 y la grabó en un C2 Hammond Organ modificado. El maestro del funk, el blues y el jazz interpreta diez excelentes canciones con sus miembros del trío Peter Bernstein en la guitarra y Bill Stewart en la batería. Este cuarto CD para la etiqueta Palmetto encuentra al trío que se extiende a los límites del formato de órgano trío. En la pista del título, "Sweet Science", Goldings establece el tema al crear pasajes imaginativos de acordes de bloques y cambios que inserta entre las secciones adyacentes para la batería de Stewart y la guitarra de Bernstein. Bernstein luego interpreta un solo de guitarra muy melódico que puede describirse como muy poco común con otros guitarristas de su generación. Su gran articulación continúa en el increíble órgano solo de Goldings, uno que se completa con esquemas armónicos, progresiones de acordes frescas y las fórmulas rítmicas que se han hecho para componer los preciados licks distintivos de Goldings. "Solid Jack" personifica el exitoso e imaginativo dominio del órgano sónico. Esta canción crea una atractiva síntesis de atractivo melódico e ingenio compositivo. El místico "Coral" y "Ven y reza" encuentran al trío en paz con un ambiente espiritual muy especial. Estas son dos hermosas piezas que puedes patear y meditar. En general, el CD es una refrescante dosis de jazz, blues y funk. Más variada tanto en el alcance artístico como en la técnica musical que su esfuerzo anterior, Sweet Science supera los estándares de los instintos compositivos únicos de Goldings que se escuchan en As One. Un esfuerzo brillante.
