That's Larry Goldings?
The sad thing is when he plays the lame voicings and progressions, that's basically 90% of rock/pop music.

Not Goldings

PS : That wig reminds me of Richard Clayderman

Hah totally fell for it, well played! I dismissed it immediately when I saw the wig and heard the accent. In thinking about it reminds me of Jonathan and Darlene, Jo Stafford and her husband the great arranger Paul Weston's alter egos. Check em out if you don't know them, brilliant...Jo (one of my absolute favorite singers) would intentionally sing out of tune, very difficult feat for a good singer.

I assume everyone has seen this from a few years ago. Hilarious:
-
Finally some theory I can get with.

Larry has even done some live performances in character as Hans Groiner. There was a set at Smalls some years ago on YouTube. On his recent solo tour in the UK and Europe, he brought the wig as there was one booker in Europe who specifically wanted a Groiner appearance!
He's done some very funny videos in the last couple of years. I love this one.

Larry Goldings can be funny. Likes to crack a lot of jokes bw songs at concerts.
But watching a professional musician do comedy is about as rewarding to me as watching Adam Sandler sing. I guess the difference is I also hate Sandler's comedy while I consider Goldings a great musician.

You wouldn’t have liked Dizzy Gillespie or James Moody then...

Or Clark Terry (Mumbles).
A lot of jazz musicians like humour, I think. (It probably helps them survive...)

Hopefully, all of you Goldings fans know of the "Johnny Bowtie Barstow" album, which is so clever, especially listening to Goldings chase the vocalist around, as he drops measures, modulates, speeds up, etc. Big fan!

Bowtie is...unique. I break that album out every Christmas and lose a few more friends each time.
I highly recommend "Danny Boy". Basically, civilization crumbles over the course of the tune, but Johnny commits and keeps the brogue going until the (very) bitter end.
"Blue Skies" is pretty great, too, but "Mack the Knife" demonstrates that nobody swings like Bowtie. BTW - the guitar player on that intro is a guy named Bernstein.

The Charleston lesson is priceless!
