Since this month’s focus is on accompanying vocalists, I thought I’d share one of my favorite examples. This is a version of Irving Berlin’s “What’ll I Do” sung by Kathleen Grace accompanied by Larry Goldings. One of the YouTube comments is spot on:
Beautiful voice. And no matter what Larry G is playing – ballads, funk, pop, straight ahead, Brazilian – literally anything. it’s always PERFECT!
Enjoy!
And for those unfamiliar with Larry Goldings, you might enjoy this article from Downbeat (Feb. 21, 2024).
